Dividend Reinvestment Calculator

Use our Dividend Reinvestment Calculator to see how a stock or fund grows when every dividend buys more shares — a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) — and how that compares with taking the dividends in cash.

Each payment, your dividends buy new shares at the price on that day, and those new shares earn dividends of their own. Add dividend growth and share price growth to see how raises and price changes compound over the years.

The results show your ending value, the dividends reinvested, how much your share count grows, the yearly income your final position pays, and how much more you end with than if you had taken the cash. The difference is small at first and widens over long periods.

Taxes and fees are not included, and real yields, growth and prices vary, so treat the results as an estimate. To find a stock’s dividend yield, use our Stock Yield Calculator; to project your yearly dividend income on its own, or the growth it takes to reach a goal, use our Dividend Growth Calculator.
