How much dividend income
could an investment pay?

Use an investment amount and dividend yield to estimate pre-tax annual, monthly, and quarterly dividends.

Assumptions

Reset

Annual dividends are divided by 12 and 4 for simple averages, regardless of actual payment frequency.

Compare estimated pre-tax dividends
by investment and yield.

All figures are pre-tax annual estimates divided into monthly and quarterly averages. Actual payment frequency and amounts can differ.

Use dividend yield to
estimate annual income.

01

Dividend calculation

The investment is multiplied by the expected annual dividend yield, then divided by 12 and 4 for simple averages.

02

What the estimate excludes

This is a pre-tax estimate. Payment schedules, dividend changes, taxes, and exchange rates are not included.

03

A $10,000 investment yielding 3.5%

This is a pre-tax estimate assuming the dividend yield remains unchanged.

The monthly figure is the annual estimate divided by 12. It does not mean the investment pays the same amount every month.

Frequently asked questions

Will the monthly average be paid every month?

Not necessarily. A company or fund may pay monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually. Check its actual distribution schedule.

Does the estimate include dividend tax?

No. It is shown before tax because taxation depends on the asset, account, and investor's jurisdiction.

Will today's dividend yield remain the same?

Not necessarily. Both distributions and market prices can change, so the yield can also change.
