What Is Dividend Reinvestment?

Dividend reinvestment, commonly called DRIP, means using dividend payments to purchase additional shares instead of taking those dividends as cash. Those additional shares can then produce future dividends.

How the Dividend Snowball Works

As dividends are reinvested, your share count can increase. If the dividend per share also grows, future dividend payments may become larger over time. This calculator models that process using the assumptions you enter.

What Can Affect Your Result?

Risks and Limitations

Actual investment results can differ substantially from projections. Dividends may be reduced or eliminated, share prices can rise or fall, and future growth rates may differ from historical assumptions.
