Yieldly resources

Dividend income calculator

Estimate annual and average monthly dividend income from an investment amount and dividend yield.

The income formula

Annual income = investment amount × annual yield ÷ 100. Average monthly income = annual income ÷ 12. For $10,000 at 4%, the annual estimate is $400 and the monthly average is $33.33.

Monthly average is not a payment schedule

A quarterly or irregular payer will not distribute that average every month. Use announced payment dates to plan cash flow. Trailing yield is based on historical distributions; future dividends may differ or stop.

Compare compounding with the DRIP calculator or explore the dividend calendar app.

Choose inputs carefully

Check whether the yield includes special payments. Read about trailing versus forward yield, or explore US dividend research. This calculator runs on your device; it does not send entered amounts to Yieldly.
