Common questions
How is the annual dividend calculated?
We sum all dividend payments made by the stock over the last 12 months. This trailing figure reflects what the company actually paid, not forward projections.
Are dividends guaranteed?
No. Companies can reduce, suspend, or eliminate dividends at any time. Past dividend payments do not guarantee future payments. Always do your own research before investing.
Does this account for taxes?
No. The calculator shows gross dividend income before taxes. Dividend tax treatment varies by country and personal circumstances. Consult a tax professional for after-tax figures.
What if a stock has no dividends?
If the stock does not pay dividends, the calculator will let you know. Not all companies pay dividends — growth stocks typically reinvest profits instead.
