Free dividend tool
Compare annual dividends per share with diluted earnings per share for the same reporting period.
This tool does not fetch market data. Example values demonstrate the calculator and are not a security quote or recommendation.
All assumptions remain visible and editable.
Check the entered values and assumptions before using the result in a financial decision.
Use values from the same date or reporting period so the inputs are comparable.
Use conservative inputs, then test a second scenario to see what drives the result.
Compare the estimate with official filings, fund documents, taxes, fees, and your own risk needs.
Calculate a company dividend payout ratio and earnings-retention rate from annual dividends per share and diluted earnings per share.
The calculator keeps the formula visible so you can reproduce the result in a spreadsheet. A mathematically correct result can still be unsuitable if an input is stale or if future distributions change.
Questions
No. The calculator uses only the values shown in the form. Update price, distributions, earnings, and other inputs from a current source before calculating.
No. It is a mathematical scenario based on your inputs. It does not predict future distributions, prices, taxes, or returns.
No. Unless a tax input is visible, results are nominal and pre-tax. Inflation is not modeled.
No. It is one historical ratio. Cash flow, debt, industry conditions, management policy, and future earnings also matter.

Convert an annual dividend per share into a comparable yield and an estimated income amount for the shares you own.
See how a constant dividend growth assumption changes future income while keeping the number of shares fixed.
Model how reinvested distributions could add shares over time under assumptions you control.
