Future income projection
Project how a dividend portfolio could grow year by year. Enter your starting capital, dividend yield, expected dividend growth, monthly contributions, tax rate and price growth, and choose whether to reinvest dividends. See your projected after-tax income, portfolio value, total cash invested and yield on cost.
Useful for picturing the income your portfolio could produce in 10, 20 or 30 years.
Look-back analysis
Look back at an investment you already hold. Enter what you originally invested, its value today, your current yield on cost, dividend growth rate, tax rate and years held. It estimates how much of your result came from price gains versus dividends, and how much of your original investment the dividends have paid back.
A good fit for checking what the dividend snowball has already contributed to your results.
Income goal planning
Set a monthly or yearly income target and compare up to five dividend stocks or ETFs against it. Using each one’s trailing yield and your tax rate, it shows the money and shares you would need and your after-tax income, plus when a faster-growing dividend could catch up with a higher yield.
Handy for finding which investment reaches your income goal with the least money.
Portfolio builder
Try out a portfolio before you buy. Enter up to ten tickers and the amount you would put into each, and the sandbox estimates your annual and monthly dividend income, total invested and blended yield on cost, with a breakdown of how much income each position contributes.
Try it before committing capital, to see which positions would carry your income.
Head-to-head comparison
Put up to four dividend stocks or ETFs side by side over a 5-year or 10-year period. Charts compare their price returns and how their yield on cost has grown, and the results name the winners for price return, dividend growth, yield-on-cost growth and highest final yield on cost.
Helpful when deciding which investment has rewarded long-term holders more, through price or dividends.
