Dividend Stock Calculators
See how 47 well-known US dividend stocks compare when you reinvest the dividends. Each page projects what $10,000 could grow to over 10, 20 and 30 years, the income it could pay, how it stacks up against its sector, and how the dividends are taxed in 2026.
Yields and dividend growth rates are reference figures compiled in early 2026, not live quotes. Educational only, not investment advice.
How to read these numbers
A stock's dividend yield is its annual dividend divided by the share price. The average reference yield across this list is 3.3%. Dividend growth is how fast the payout has risen per year over the last five years. A high yield pays more today; fast growth pays more later.
The 30-year column assumes the yield stays constant, so the share price and dividend grow at the five-year dividend growth rate, with every dividend reinvested. Real returns will differ, sometimes a lot, because prices swing and dividends can be cut. A diversified dividend fund spreads that single-company risk; see our index funds and ETFs guide and the DRIP calculator for your own inputs.
