About DividendSmart
Serious dividend tools without the noise: live data, honest math, no paywall, no signup.
What this site is
DividendSmart is a free set of dividend calculators and data pages covering 282 dividend-paying stocks and ETFs, backed by a database of 30,034 historical per-share payments. Every ticker gets a projection calculator, its complete payment history and an ex-dividend date page.
Where the data comes from
Prices and dividend records come from consolidated public market data feeds. Every active ticker is refreshed on a rolling hourly cycle, around the clock. Historical amounts are split-adjusted so they are comparable across decades. Derived figures such as TTM yield, growth CAGRs, payment frequency and next-payment estimates are computed by us from that record; estimated dates are pattern-based until officially declared by the fund sponsor.
What the calculators assume
Projections simulate month by month: dividends arrive at each ticker's real frequency, DRIP reinvests them (including fractional shares), contributions buy at the modeled price, and payouts and prices grow at the constant annual rates you set. Real markets are not constant; treat every projection as a scenario, not a forecast.
What this site is not
Not financial advice, not a broker, not affiliated with any fund issuer. We do not manage money and we do not know your situation. Verify anything important against official fund documents before acting.
