About This Calculator

Dividend investing builds a passive income stream by holding stocks or funds that distribute regular cash payments. This calculator shows your expected annual and monthly dividend income based on the amount invested and the dividend yield, and estimates income after dividend taxes.

Estimates only — not financial, tax, legal, or investment advice. Verify important results with a qualified professional before making decisions.

annual income = principal × yield; monthly = annual ÷ 12; after-tax = annual × (1 − tax rate)
