Dividend Tracker

Tracks and analyzes dividend income across your investment portfolio. Monitors yields, growth rates, payout ratios, payment schedules, and projects future income for dividend-focused investors.

Usage

Provide your dividend holdings with share counts, purchase prices, and current dividend rates. Specify your income goals, reinvestment preferences, and whether you want monthly income projections or annual summaries.

Examples

  • "Track my 15-stock dividend portfolio and calculate my weighted average yield, monthly income, and annual growth rate"
  • "Create a dividend payment calendar showing which stocks pay each month for consistent monthly income"
  • "Analyze which of my holdings have the strongest dividend safety based on payout ratio and earnings coverage"

Guidelines

  • Track yield on cost (dividends / purchase price) alongside current yield for a complete return picture
  • Monitor payout ratios; dividends above 80% of earnings for non-REITs may be unsustainable
  • Focus on dividend growth rate, not just current yield; a 2% yield growing at 10% annually beats a stagnant 4%
  • Build a payment calendar across all holdings to ensure consistent monthly income if that is your goal
  • Reinvest dividends during accumulation phase to accelerate compounding; switch to cash in retirement
