How this was calculated
income = shares × DPS, with DPS growing at your chosen rate each year and contributions buying more shares.
Target Corporation's inputs come from its reported quarterly payout history (latest statement 2026-05-02): trailing dividend per share, an approximate current price, and a growth default derived from its own recent dividend record. Everything is editable, and the projection is hypothetical, pre-tax and not investment advice. Is the payout sustainable? That's what the Safety pillar below scores.

Frequently asked questions
Multiply the shares you own by the dividend per share: income = shares × DPS. For a yield-based estimate, multiply your invested amount by the dividend yield. $10,000 at a 3% yield pays about $300 a year, typically in quarterly installments. This calculator does it from a ticker's real trailing-twelve-month payout.
At a 3% average yield you would need about $400,000 ($12,000 a year ÷ 0.03); at 4%, about $300,000. Chasing much higher yields to shrink that number is risky, because unusually high yields often signal a payout the market expects to be cut.
Most healthy dividend payers yield between 2% and 5%. Above roughly 6–8%, ask why the market is paying you so much: the yield may be high because the price has fallen on real problems. Yield only matters alongside the payout ratio and the stability of the underlying earnings and cash flow.
Yield is what the stock pays today (annual DPS ÷ price); the growth rate is how fast that payment has been rising. A 2% yield growing 10% a year doubles your income on cost in about seven years, which is why long-horizon investors often earn more from growth than from a high starting yield.
Check three things: the payout ratio (dividends ÷ earnings; durable payers usually stay under ~60%), free cash flow coverage, and balance sheet strength. A dividend financed by debt or exceeding free cash flow is at risk regardless of its history. MonkStreet's Safety pillar scores exactly these inputs.
This calculator's pre-filled mode covers individual stocks in our coverage universe. For ETFs or anything else, switch to manual mode and enter the fund's distribution yield and your own growth assumption. The math is identical.
In most jurisdictions, yes. In the US, qualified dividends are taxed at capital gains rates and ordinary dividends at income rates, and reinvested dividends are taxable in the year received even though you never see the cash. This calculator shows pre-tax figures; consult a tax professional for your situation.
