Calculation Formula
Dividend Reinvestment Formula:
New Shares = Dividend Received ÷ Current Stock Price
Total Shares = Previous Shares + New Shares from Reinvestment
Key Calculations:
• Stock Price Growth = Initial Price × (1 + Growth Rate)^Years
• Dividend per Share = Stock Price × Dividend Yield %
• Total Return = ((Final Value - Initial Investment) ÷ Initial Investment) × 100
• CAGR = ((Final Value ÷ Initial Investment)^(1/Years) - 1) × 100
- Initial Investment: Starting value of your stock investment
- Dividend Yield: Annual dividend as percentage of stock price
- Growth Rate: Expected annual growth rate of dividends
- Reinvestment: Using dividends to purchase additional shares
- CAGR: Compound Annual Growth Rate of the investment
