Start InvestingA dividend calculator estimates how much income an investor may receive from dividend-paying U.S. stocks or ETFs. Enter share count, dividend amount, current share price, payout frequency, and tax estimate to review estimated dividend income and dividend yield. The yield tab can compare received dividend income against the invested amount, while the projection tab models how contributions, dividend growth, reinvestment, and price appreciation may affect future dividend income.
Annual dividend = shares × annual dividend per share.
Dividend per payout = annual dividend / payout frequency.
Dividend yield = annual dividend per share / current share price.
Post-tax dividend = annual dividend after estimated U.S. withholding tax.
Period yield = dividend received / invested amount.
Annualized dividend = dividend received × selected dividend period.
Annualized yield = annualized dividend / invested amount.
Yearly dividend = shares × projected share price × dividend yield.
Reinvested dividends and annual contributions buy additional shares.
Each year applies expected stock appreciation and dividend growth to the next year's estimate.
Use the Estimate Income tab before buying or comparing a dividend stock or ETF. Use the Calculate Yield tab after you have already received a dividend and want to understand what that income means compared with the amount invested. Use Projected Growth when you want to estimate future dividend income over multiple years using growth and contribution assumptions.

U.S. dividends paid to non-U.S. investors may be subject to withholding tax. The tax rate entered here is only an estimate and should be confirmed with a tax advisor.
