How is dividend yield calculated?

Dividend Yield = (Annual Dividend per Share / Stock Price) x 100. If a stock costs $50 and pays $2/year, the yield is 4%.

What is DRIP?

DRIP stands for Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Instead of taking cash, you use dividends to buy more shares. This compounds returns — you earn dividends on dividends. Over decades, DRIP dramatically increases total return.

What is a good dividend yield?

For stable companies, 2-4% is typical and sustainable. High yields above 6-8% can signal risk. REITs and utilities often yield 3-6%. Growth stocks usually yield 0-2%.

How often are dividends paid?

Most US stocks pay quarterly. Some pay monthly, semi-annually, or annually. REITs often pay monthly. The calculator uses annual dividend and shows monthly income.
