Reinvesting your dividends allows you to increase the number of shares that you own without forking over a dime in new money. You simply buy new shares with every dividend payment, and let the power of compounding take over. Over the long haul, reinvesting dividends really adds up, helping to exponentially increase the value of your portfolio. You can snowball your investment portfolio.
Simply put… without dividend reinvestment, you’re leaving money on the table. Check out how our dividend reinvestment calculator works below.
Now that you’ve taken a look at how our dividend reinvestment calculator works, you should think about setting up a dividend reinvestment plan. It’s an easy process that can lead to a growing source of passive income.
Consider setting up a dividend reinvestment plan. Also known as a DRIP, a dividend reinvestment plan allows investors to reinvest their cash dividends in shares or fractional shares of the dividend-paying company. This action takes place at the dividend payment date. Most of the time, these shares can be acquired commission-free. Also, sometimes companies may offer shares at a discounted rate.
To set up a drip plan, many online brokers let you choose when buying dividend stocks. It’s an option that might show up when putting in the order. And if you already hold a position and want to turn on automatic reinvesting, you can contact your broker to learn how.
