How the calculator works
- Dividends this year = what you invest × the yield.
- With reinvesting, each year’s dividends buy more shares, and the dividend per share grows by the rate you enter.
- Without reinvesting, you take the cash, so only the growth in the dividend per share raises your income.
- Taxes, fees and price swings aren’t included.
