Dividend basics
How are dividends calculated?
A company declares a dividend per share, such as $0.50 a quarter. You receive that amount for every share you own on the record date. 200 shares × $0.50 = $100 for that payment, or $400 over a year of four payments.
What is the ex-dividend date?
It is the first day a new buyer does not get the next dividend. To be paid, you need to buy before the ex-date. In the US, since T+1 settlement started in May 2024, the ex-date and the record date are the same day.
What is a good dividend yield?
There is no single answer. Broad US stock indexes have yielded under 2% in recent years, many established dividend payers yield 2% to 5%, and yields far above that often mean the market doubts the dividend will last. A lower yield that grows can end up paying more over time.
Do you store the numbers I enter?
Only on your own device. Every calculation runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent anywhere. There are no accounts. Each calculator remembers your last numbers in your browser, so they are still there after a reload. “Forget my numbers” under any calculator clears them.
