Dividend Calculator
Work out your dividend income and dividend yield, then see how the holding could grow over the years with dividends reinvested (DRIP). Enter the share price, the annual dividend per share and how much you hold.
How dividend yield is calculated
Dividend yield = Annual dividend per share ÷ Share price × 100 Annual income = Number of shares × Annual dividend per share
Example: a $50 share paying $2 a year has a 4% yield. $10,000 buys 200 shares, which pay $400 a year, about $33 a month on average (quarterly payers send $100 four times a year).
Dividend reinvestment (DRIP)
With a DRIP, each dividend buys more shares, which then earn their own dividends. Over long periods this compounding can make a big difference. The calculator reinvests each payment at the share price at that time, using the share price growth you enter.
What the calculator assumes
- Dividends and share price grow at the steady rates you enter. Real companies can cut, suspend or raise dividends at any time.
- No taxes or fees. Dividend withholding tax can be significant, especially for foreign shareholders.
- Fractional shares are allowed when reinvesting.
