How This Dividend Calculator Works
Our Canadian Dividend Income Calculator estimates how your dividend income could grow over time through regular contributions, annual dividend increases, and dividend reinvestment.
Dividend Yield: Your starting annual dividend yield determines the income generated by your initial investment.
Dividend Growth: The annual dividend growth rate increases the dividend paid per share each year. For simplicity, the calculator assumes share prices remain constant, meaning dividend growth also increases the effective yield over time.
Monthly Contributions: Additional contributions increase the amount invested. The calculator assumes contributions are made at the end of each month.
Dividend Reinvestment (DRIP):
- ON: Dividends are reinvested annually, increasing your portfolio balance and the potential for future dividend income.
- OFF: Dividends are paid out as cash and are not added back to the invested portfolio.
Years Invested: The calculator projects how contributions, dividend increases, and reinvestment affect your investment over the selected period.
Understanding Your Results: The estimated annual dividend income represents the income your portfolio could generate annually at the end of your selected investment period. It is not the total dividends received during that period or necessarily the dividends paid during the final year.
Actual investment performance will vary. Dividend increases are not guaranteed, and this simplified projection does not account for changes in share prices, taxes, trading fees, or dividend reductions.
