About DRIP Dividend Calculator

This site does one thing, and tries to do it honestly: the math of reinvesting dividends. There's a universal DRIP calculator for any set of assumptions, and a dedicated calculator for each popular dividend stock and ETF, each one preloaded with that ticker's real numbers.

Where the data comes from

Every figure on a ticker page — the share price, the trailing-twelve-month dividends, the payment schedule, the growth history — is checked against published sources: the fund sponsor's own distribution pages and reputable market-data references. Each page tells you when it was last verified, links the exact sources, and points to the official fund or investor-relations page. When data goes stale, the page says so out loud. We don't estimate, interpolate, or fill in a dividend figure we can't confirm. A ticker we can't verify simply doesn't get a calculator yet.

How the calculators work

One simulation engine powers all of it, and the method is laid out in plain terms under "How this calculator works" on every page. Option-income funds, the covered-call and YieldMax-style ETFs, get handled differently: their distributions are held flat instead of compounded, because projecting option income as if it were dividend growth produces numbers we won't put our name on.

What this site is not

It isn't investment advice, a brokerage, or a data terminal. There are no accounts, no portfolio tracking, and no calls to buy or sell anything. The projections are educational illustrations built from historical data. The disclosures page has the full disclaimers and our affiliate policy.

Questions or corrections are welcome. If a number looks wrong, tell us — getting the data right is the whole product.
