Trace dividend reinvestment and carried cash

1. Supply your own dates and amounts

Open Dividend reinvestment from Financial calculators. Enter initial quantity and cash, one assumed purchase price, dividend per unit per payment, your first assumed payment date, frequency and years. Use the same currency for all amounts. Neither price, payment nor date is fetched from an issuer or broker.

The price and dividend stay constant throughout this scenario. Payment dates step from your original month and day. A day beyond a month’s end is clamped for that month only, so a January 31 monthly anchor can return to March 31. Reinvestment is assumed on those payment dates, without a real trading or settlement calendar.

2. Distinguish unknown deductions and purchase rules

The prefilled amounts are editable model assumptions; mark a value unknown when you cannot establish it for your scenario. An unknown assumption leaves the first gross payment available but blocks the reinvestment projection. Enter each known percentage or amount explicitly, including 0. The payment fee applies to each model payment; the purchase fee applies only when at least some units are bought.

Choose whole units or fractional units. The calculator rounds the quantity purchased downward and carries remaining cash to the next payment. Fractional purchases use at most 18 decimal places. This is a model choice and does not establish whether a particular broker supports fractional units.

3. Read completed payments separately from a stopped scenario

The annual table groups your chosen number of payments into a scenario year and shows first and last assumed dates, quantities, gross dividends, deductions, each fee, purchase spending and remaining cash. Value at the assumed price is a derived model amount. It is not a live market valuation.
