How this calculation works
Calculate total stock portfolio growth when quarterly or annual dividends are automatically reinvested into buying additional shares versus taking payouts in cash.
Mathematical formula and logic
Future Value = Principal × (1 + Total Annual Return)^Years with compounding share count.
Worked example
A $10,000 investment at 4% dividend yield and 5% price growth compounds to over $23,000 with DRIP.
Calculation assumptions
- Dividends are assumed to be 100% reinvested without tax drag.
- Share price appreciates smoothly at the entered annual rate.
- Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns.
