Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dividend?

A dividend is a cash payment companies make to shareholders from their profits, typically quarterly. Not all stocks pay dividends — growth companies reinvest profits instead.

What is dividend yield?

Dividend yield = annual dividend per share / price per share. A 4% yield means you earn $40/year for every $1,000 invested. Compare yields to bank accounts, bonds, and other investments.

Are dividends taxed?

Yes. Qualified dividends are taxed at long-term capital gains rates (0-20%). Non-qualified dividends are taxed as ordinary income. Dividends in tax-advantaged accounts (IRA, 401k) are not taxed.

What is DRIP?

Dividend Reinvestment Plan — automatically reinvests your dividends to buy more shares. Many brokers offer this free. DRIP accelerates compounding by buying shares at any price.
