How this calculator works
Yield on cost is the yearly dividend per share divided by the price you originally paid: dividend ÷ purchase price. It rises when the company raises its dividend, even if you never buy more shares. The projection grows the dividend by the rate you enter each year and keeps your cost fixed.
Yield on cost is a measure of what your original money earns, not of how good the stock is today. A high figure can hide a share price that has fallen, so compare it with the current yield and the total return. This is an educational estimate, not investment advice.
