Monthly Compounded Dividend Calculator
Dividend Reinvestment is where you reinvest your dividends in the same stock that issues the dividend originally, then the next time the dividend is issued you have more shares, so your dividend is higher, and you reinvest more, thus gaining more shares. This is called compounding, and can make you very wealthy in the long term. The more frequent the distributions, the more frequent the compounding, the more money you will make. This calculator is a monthly compounded dividend calculator it is our "fastest" calculator. Faster than both our Annually Compounded Dividend Calculator and our Quarterly Compounded Dividend Calculator. When using this calculator you will notice the significant advantage a more frequent dividend schedule gives to your investment. Over many years it can increase your returns by double digit percentages. As such, when evaluating investment opportunities, it may be worthwhile to accept a lower yield on a stock if that stock issues dividends more frequently and you are engaged in DRIP investing.
