Current annual dividend = Shares × Price × Yield
Without reinvestment, future income grows by the dividend-growth rate. With reinvestment, each year’s dividend buys additional shares at the entered constant price.
What the result means
The headline is an annualized estimate based on the entered yield, not a promised distribution. The future-income line combines dividend growth with optional reinvestment.
ETF prices, yields, distributions, taxes, and reinvestment prices change. Special distributions and fund expenses are not separately modeled.
Five hundred shares priced at $100 with a 3.2% yield generate an estimated $1,600 annually, or about $400 per quarter before taxes.
How much annual dividend income comes from 500 shares at $100 and a 3.2% yield?
The estimate is 500 × $100 × 3.2%, which equals $1,600 per year.
Does the ETF dividend projection assume the share price changes?
No. For a transparent reinvestment estimate, additional shares are purchased at the entered constant price.
What happens if I turn dividend reinvestment off?
The share count stays fixed, while per-share dividend income changes only by the entered dividend-growth rate.
Should I use trailing yield or forward yield?
Use the measure that matches your purpose and remain consistent; trailing yield reflects past distributions, while indicated yield may reflect a current annualized rate.
Does the result account for dividend taxes?
No. The displayed amounts are gross estimates before withholding or income taxes.
