The table shows your projected payouts, yield on cost, share count, and portfolio value for each year, based on your inputs. In the chart, End Balance is the DRIP result, No DRIP is the same plan with payouts taken as cash, and Investment is what you put in — the gap between the bars is what reinvesting earned. Projections are estimates, not guarantees.

Dividend Growth Calculator

This is a dividend growth calculator: it projects your payouts year by year as the dividend per share grows, the share price moves, and reinvested payouts buy more shares. Enter a ticker and the calculator loads the current price, the latest dividend per share, and the payout frequency for you — or type your own numbers for any stock. Set a dividend growth rate and a share price growth rate, and the table shows your shares, income, yield on cost, and portfolio value for every year.

Dividend growth is the quiet half of the snowball. A stock yielding 3% today that raises its payout 10% a year pays you roughly 6% on your original cost after seven years — before counting a single reinvested share. The calculator shows both halves working together: rising payouts per share, and more shares collecting them.

How to Calculate Your Dividend Payout

Your dividend payout is: shares × dividend per share × payments per year. If you own 500 shares of a stock paying $0.65 per share each quarter, your payout is 500 × $0.65 = $325 per quarter, or $1,300 a year. Monthly payers work the same way with twelve payments instead of four.

The calculator does this for every year of your plan — and it accounts for the parts a one-line formula misses: new shares added by DRIP, new shares from your monthly contributions, and the dividend growing each year. The year-by-year table above shows the resulting payout for each year, next to your share count and yield on cost.

What is DRIP (Dividend Reinvestment)?

DRIP means your payouts buy more shares instead of arriving as cash. More shares collect the next payout, which buys more shares again — the dividend snowball. Example: $10,000 in a stock yielding 4%, with the dividend growing 6% a year and every payout reinvested, pays about $400 in year one; by year ten the same position pays over $1,000 a year and holds meaningfully more shares — without you adding a dollar. Run your own ticker above to see the exact year the snowball takes over.

High Yield vs. Dividend Growth

High-yield stocks pay more today; dividend growers pay more later. A 7% yielder with a flat payout gives you $700 a year on $10,000 — now and in year fifteen. A 2.5% yielder raising its dividend 12% a year starts at $250 but passes the high yielder's annual payout around year ten, with the share price usually following the dividend up. Neither is "better" — it depends on when you need the income. Run both through the calculator with real tickers and compare the year-by-year payout columns; the crossover year is usually the number that settles it.
