Dividend Calculator

Estimate your dividend income from shares owned, dividend yield, or annual dividend per share. See annual income, each payment, and fun calendar breakdowns (month, week, day, hour), plus yield on cost when you enter a purchase price.

Note: Forward-looking estimate using the inputs you provide — not a guarantee of future payouts. For historical returns with DRIP on real tickers, use our stock return calculator. For upcoming ex-dates, see the dividend calendar or set up alerts.

Calculator inputs

How it works: Choose an input mode, then search a ticker to fill yield and price for that mode (defaults: 100 shares or $10,000 invested). Example presets replace values with samples — they do not fetch live quotes.
How do you want to enter dividends?
Fills yield and price in whichever input mode is selected above. Does not change your share count or dollar amount. Re-select a mode after lookup to copy the same quote into that mode’s fields.

How this dividend calculator works

Annual income = shares × annual dividend per share. If you enter yield and price instead, we derive annual dividend per share as price × yield ÷ 100. Income per payment uses your dividend frequency (monthly, quarterly, etc.). The breakdown row spreads the same annual total evenly (÷ 4, 12, 52, 365, or 8,760 hours). Yield on cost compares annual dividend per share to your optional cost basis.

Frequently asked questions

A dividend calculator estimates how much cash income you can expect from dividends based on shares owned, dividend yield, or annual dividend per share. It answers “how much will I earn?” — not historical total return or tax owed.

Dividend yield is annual dividend per share divided by share price (as a %). Annual dividend per share is the total cash paid per share in a year. This calculator accepts either — or looks up both when you enter a ticker.

Yield on cost is annual dividend per share divided by what you paid per share. It shows income relative to your original investment, not the current market price.

You must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive the next payout. Payment date is when cash hits your account — often weeks later. Use our dividend calendar and ex-dividend alerts so you do not miss dates.

This page estimates forward dividend cash flow from simple inputs. The stock return calculator uses historical prices, dividends, splits, and optional DRIP to show total return over a date range.
