Instructions for Using the Dividend Calculator for Stocks, ETFs, and Mutual Funds

Step 1: Input Your Investment Parameters (Left Side)

1. Fund or Stock Symbol:

Enter the name or ticker symbol of the stock, ETF, or mutual fund you wish to analyze. For example, you can input “Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index Fund ETF” or just simply “VIG” for this fund’s symbol.

2. Time Interval:

Select the time period over which you want to calculate the dividends. Options typically include 1 year, 2 years, … and 10 years, or other custom intervals. For example, choose “10 years” to see how much you can earn over a decade.

3. Amount or Shares:

• Amount: Click the “Amount” button and enter the dollar amount you plan to invest (e.g., $10,000).

• Shares: Alternatively, switch to “Shares” and input the number of shares you already own or plan to purchase.

Step 2: View Your Outputs (Right Side)

After entering the inputs, the calculator will display the results dynamically:

1. Total Dividend Accrued:

This shows the total dollar amount of dividends you can expect to earn over the specified time interval based on your investment amount and the fund’s dividend yield.

2. Annualized Dividend Yield:

This percentage reflects the annualized yield based on the dividends accrued and your investment amount, giving you a clear view of your expected annual returns.
