Frequently Asked Questions
What is dividend yield?+
Dividend yield = Annual Dividend Per Share ÷ Stock Price × 100. A stock at $50 paying $2/year in dividends has a 4% yield. The S&P 500 average yield is about 1.3%.
Should I reinvest dividends?+
For long-term growth, yes. Reinvesting dividends (DRIP) compounds your returns. $10,000 invested at 4% yield with 5% growth: after 20 years, reinvesting = $66K vs not reinvesting = $42K portfolio value.
How much do I need for $1,000/month in dividends?+
At 4% yield: $300,000. At 3%: $400,000. At 5%: $240,000. Build toward this through regular investing and dividend reinvestment.
