About This Calculator

This calculator estimates the annual dividend income from a stock position based on shares owned and the dividend per share, along with the dividend yield relative to your cost basis. It also projects future dividend income if you provide an annual dividend growth rate.

How This Is Calculated

Annual Income = Shares Owned × Annual Dividend per Share

Yield on Cost
— Annual dividend per share ÷ your cost basis per share

200 shares with a $1.80 annual dividend generates $360/year, or about $30/month.

Assumptions

  • Assumes dividends are not reinvested into additional shares.
  • Dividend growth projection assumes a constant annual growth rate, which real companies don't guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dividend yield is based on the stock's current price. Yield on cost is based on what you originally paid — if the stock has risen and the dividend has grown, your yield on cost can be significantly higher than the current market yield.
