Dividend Calculator

DRIP stands for Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Instead of receiving dividend payments as cash, you automatically use them to buy more shares of the same stock. Over time this creates a compounding snowball effect as more shares generate more dividends which buy even more shares.

A yield of 2-3% is considered average, 4-5% is high, and above 6% warrants extra scrutiny as very high yields can indicate the dividend may be unsustainable. The best dividend stocks combine a reasonable yield with consistent annual dividend growth.
