Simulate annual dividends and price growth, with a toggle to reinvest dividends into additional shares.

Dividend reinvestment accelerates compounding by purchasing fractional shares automatically. Over long horizons, share count growth can matter as much as price appreciation for income investors.

Yields change with price—static yield inputs are simplifications. Review whether you model yield on cost or current market yield for your question.

Taxable accounts owe tax on dividends even when reinvested; DRIP in IRAs avoids annual dividend tax drag.

How to use this tool

Enter shares, price, dividend yield, price growth, years, dividend frequency, whether to reinvest dividends, and an optional qualified dividend tax rate.

Worked example

100 shares at $50 with 3% yield and 5% growth over 10 years grow faster when dividends are reinvested quarterly versus annually, and slower when a 15% qualified-dividend tax drag applies.

When to use this

  • Projecting long-term income from dividend growth stocks or ETFs.
  • Comparing DRIP inside retirement accounts versus taxable cash dividends.
  • Illustrating snowball effects for financial planning conversations.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming constant dividend yield despite payout ratio risks.
  • Ignoring dividend taxes in taxable DRIP scenarios.
  • Using historic yield peaks that companies later cut.

How it works

Simulates dividends and price growth with annual or quarterly payment frequency and an optional dividend reinvestment (DRIP) toggle. An optional qualified-dividend tax rate reduces cash available to reinvest (tax drag).
