Rio Tinto dividends by year

What Rio Tinto paid in each of its own financial years, on the basis the company reports. A company’s year and the dates its dividends reach shareholders do not always line up, so a dividend can sit under a different year here than on the payment-dates view. Rio Tinto’s financial year ends 31 Dec.

Total dividend per share for each financial year, as stated by the company, since 2015. The outlined bar is the year in progress: the payments declared so far, not a full-year figure. Hover a bar for its value; the table below is the full record, each row linked to its source filing.
