Dividend Reinvestment Calculator
Estimate how reinvesting dividends (a DRIP) could compound your shares and value over time, from a starting position, dividend yield, price-growth assumption, and time horizon.
How to use this calculator
Enter shares, share price, dividend yield, an annual price-growth assumption, and the number of years. Each year's dividends buy more shares; the result is an illustrative estimate, not a forecast.
Inputs are editable, results update locally in the browser, and outputs are informational estimates based only on the assumptions entered.
How dividend reinvestment compounds
A dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) uses each dividend payment to buy more shares instead of taking the cash. Those extra shares then earn their own dividends, so both your share count and income can compound over time.
This calculator replays that loop year by year using the yield and price-growth assumptions you enter, and shows the estimated ending value and share count.
What the assumptions mean
Dividend yield and annual price growth are inputs you choose, not predictions — real dividends and prices vary and can fall. Try a range of assumptions to see how sensitive the outcome is.
The estimate excludes taxes and fees, which would lower real-world results.

FAQ
What is a dividend reinvestment (DRIP) calculator?
It estimates how reinvesting dividends to buy more shares could compound your share count and value over time, based on the yield, price growth, and horizon you enter.
How is reinvestment modeled here?
Each year the calculator pays a dividend on your current holding, buys more shares with it at that year's price, then grows the price by your assumption for the next year.
Are these results guaranteed?
No. Yield and price growth are assumptions you enter; real distributions and prices vary. Results are illustrative estimates that exclude taxes and fees.
