Dividend FIRE Projection
Update the assumptions below to model a realistic dividend-income path.
What this calculator helps you estimate
Use realistic values for yield, dividend growth, taxes, and inflation to pressure-test your assumptions.
Compare monthly dividends against monthly expenses to see when your portfolio could fund your lifestyle.
How to interpret the result
Treat the output as a planning range, not a guarantee. Dividend policy, taxes, inflation, and market valuation can all change faster than a spreadsheet implies.
| Planning question | Next step |
|---|---|
| How much income does this portfolio produce now? | Use the dividend income calculator and compare monthly dividends with monthly expenses. |
| What happens if dividends keep growing? | Use the yield on cost or reinvestment calculator to test growth and compounding assumptions. |
| How much capital is still missing? | Use the retirement income gap calculator to turn a shortfall into a portfolio target. |
Frequently asked questions
What does this calculator estimate?
It projects after-tax dividend income for up to 15 years and compares that income with inflation-adjusted spending.
Why include inflation and taxes?
Both reduce real spending power. Ignoring either can make a retirement plan look safer than it is.
Should I assume a high dividend growth rate?
Only if it is supported by a durable business and long-term history. Most plans benefit from conservative assumptions.
