Calculate dividend yield and projected income
Dividend yield is the annual dividend payment divided by the share price, expressed as a percentage. It shows the income return on your investment.
The dividend growth rate projects future income assuming the company increases its dividend annually. A 5% growth rate doubles the dividend in about 14 years.
After-tax income accounts for dividend taxation, which varies by jurisdiction and holding period. Qualified dividends in the US are taxed at lower capital gains rates.
