How the calculator works
The share price is held flat at the Oct 26, 2026 close in every year. Money added each month buys shares at the end of each payment period. No taxes, fees or commissions are taken out.
Year one starts from the dividend paid in fiscal 2026 ($0.92 a share). The latest quarterly payment, $0.231, runs at $0.92 a year.
The growth rate defaults to the company's own five-year dividend growth, the figure its safety grade scores. It describes the past; edit it to test your own view.
Yield on cost
Yield on cost here is a year's dividend a share divided by the close you start at. The page holds that close flat, so every share, whether held from the start, added each month or added with reinvested dividends, costs the same, and one figure covers them all. It is not the year's dividends divided by the money put in.
Monthly dividend income
The dividends in the final year are divided by twelve to give the monthly figure under them; it is an average, since a quarterly payer pays four times a year.
