Model overview

Understand the model at a glance

What this model does

  • Projects how a stock or ETF position may grow through price appreciation, dividends, and optional reinvestment.
  • Shows ending value, ending shares, annual dividend income, and total dollars invested.
  • Supports optional live ticker autofill for share price and dividend yield.

Key assumptions

  • The model assumes one annual contribution and one annual dividend cycle for simplicity.
  • Dividend yield is treated as stable across the projection horizon unless you adjust it manually.
  • Price growth and dividends are smooth planning assumptions rather than a forecast of market volatility.

Example scenario

An investor holding 120 shares of an ETF at $210 per share can model how annual contributions, price appreciation, and dividend reinvestment may change the position over the next decade.

How the math works

Open to review the formulas and planning logic behind this model.

+
  • Each year, the model updates share price based on the annual growth assumption and applies your planned annual contribution.
  • Dividend income is calculated from the position value using the dividend yield.
  • If dividends are reinvested, the model converts that cash into additional shares at the current modeled price.

Next steps

Insights and recommendations

Pressure test returns and contribution pace together instead of focusing on a single headline projection.
Treating dividend yield as guaranteed instead of reviewing the company's payout policy over time.
Using a growth rate that already includes dividends while also entering a separate dividend yield.

Questions

FAQ

Can I use this for ETFs too?

Yes. The model works for a single stock or ETF position as long as you enter the price, shares, yield, and annual contribution assumptions.

Does this pull live market data automatically?

It can optionally autofill share price and dividend yield from the market-data layer, but the model still works fully with manual inputs.

What if the company cuts its dividend?

Update the dividend yield assumption. The model is only as accurate as the payout assumption you enter.

Should I reinvest dividends automatically?

Reinvestment can accelerate share growth, but some investors may prefer cash income. This model lets you compare both paths.

Is annual contribution invested monthly?

No. For simplicity the model adds one annual contribution. Use it as a planning estimate rather than a brokerage-grade simulator.

Can I use this as a total portfolio model?

It is best for one position or a simplified sleeve of your portfolio. For broad portfolio planning, use the investment return or retirement models.
