Dividend Calculator
Calculate current dividend income and yield, then project dividend and share-price growth by payment period. Optional DRIP reinvests each modeled payment at that period’s projected price and supports fractional shares.
How to use the Dividend Calculator
Enter shares, share price, annual dividend, dividend and share-price growth, DRIP choice, payment frequency, and years.
Review declaration status, ex-dividend date, payment frequency, special dividends, distribution cuts, taxes, fees, and reinvestment price.
Read current income and yield, ending shares, total dividends paid, ending position value, and projected annual income.
Formula
Current income = shares × annual dividend per share. Each payment grows dividend and price at frequency-adjusted rates; with DRIP, payment ÷ projected share price is added to share count.
Example
100 shares paying $2 annually produce $200 current income; quarterly DRIP uses each modeled $50 payment to buy fractional shares at that quarter’s projected price.
Assumptions and limitations
- Dividend and price growth are constant user scenarios; DRIP buys fractional shares on payment dates and excludes taxes, fees, restrictions, and intra-period volatility.
- Dividend Calculator treats the entered values as estimates and does not infer missing project, account, or personal details.
- Calculations retain working precision except where the cited method requires an intermediate rounding step; displayed values are then formatted separately. Source rules and dated rates must be rechecked when they change.
