Dividend Calculator
Project your dividend income: investment amount, dividend yield, growth rate and holding period. See monthly and annual cash flow.
About this tool
Project the cash flow of a dividend portfolio: enter the invested amount, current dividend yield, expected annual dividend growth and a holding period — the tool shows year-one income, the projected income at the end and the cumulative total.
Dividend income is the original form of passive investing: reinvest it and growth compounds on both price and income. The calculator makes the difference between a 3% and 5% yield concrete over ten years.
FAQ
How is dividend income calculated?
Annual dividend = investment x dividend yield. A $50,000 portfolio yielding 4% pays about $2,000 per year, usually in quarterly payments.
What is dividend growth?
Companies that raise dividends increase the yield on your original cost. Growing 6% a year means income compounds even if you reinvest nothing.
Are dividends guaranteed?
No. Companies may cut or suspend payouts, especially during downturns. Yields above 8% often signal elevated risk.
