How the Dividend Calendar Works

The Dividend Calendar is a simple, powerful tool that helps you track what’s happening with your dividend income—either across your whole portfolio or within a specific strategy.

You can quickly see what dividends have already hit your account, when they were paid, and what payouts are coming up next—organized month by month. It gives you a clear picture of your expected income and lets you review what you’ve earned in the past.

By default, the calendar shows dividends before taxes. Since each country and region has its own tax rules for dividends, tax settings are handled separately.

How to Read the Calendar

Here’s what the colors mean:

Dark green: Dividends that have already been paid
Dark blue: Dividends that have been declared and will be paid soon
Light green: Estimated dividends—future payouts based on the company’s regular history

Quick note: There are two kinds of dividends—regular and irregular. Regular dividends come on a set schedule (like quarterly or annually). Irregular ones are occasional—think special or bonus dividends that companies pay out when they have extra cash or hit certain milestones.

You’ll also see a lightning bolt icon ⚡ next to those bonus/special dividends. These don’t show up in future projections since they’re unpredictable.

How the Numbers Are Calculated

Dividends inside the calendar are shown in the currency they’re paid in. To the left of the company name, you’ll see the total paid during the selected time period.

By default, the calendar shows the current year, but you can choose any period you want—either manually or using the quick year tags.

Every time you select a date range, the app automatically recalculates your dividends for that period—paid, confirmed, and projected. It adds everything up, including both regular and special dividends, so you get the full picture of your income for the timeframe you’re looking at.

Example

Let’s say you picked the 2025 tab. The calendar will update to show cells from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025. Inside those calendar cells, you’ll see dividend payouts loaded in — paid, confirmed, and projected ones. Special dividends are also included.

All of these dividends are totaled up, and the full amount is displayed next to the company ticker, over in the first column on the left.

When you look at future periods, the app uses past dividend patterns to estimate what’s coming. It looks at frequency, timing, and consistency of previous payouts to forecast what to expect going forward.

What Is the Financial Score?

The Financial Score is a rating system that evaluates a company`s fundamental strength. It ranges from 20 to 99, with higher scores indicating stronger, more reliable companies. Stocks with a score of 80+ are considered high-quality investments, while those rated 50 or below are seen as weaker choices. This score allows you to efficiently filter thousands of stocks and build investment strategies that maximize returns.

Global vs. Local Scores

The Financial Score consists of two components: Global and Local. The Global Score measures a company`s strength on a worldwide scale, while the Local Score evaluates its performance within its home country. Both scores use the same metrics but are ranked separately, helping you identify market leaders at both global and local levels.

Coverage and Methodology

Our team analyzes over 20,000 companies worldwide, covering:

North America: USA, Canada
Europe: UK, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Ireland
Asia & Oceania: Japan, Australia, China, India
We collect financial data daily and review 25 years of historical reports to ensure thorough and accurate evaluations. This long-term perspective allows us to assess a company’s resilience during economic downturns.

The Financial Score Consists of 3 Key Components

1. Growth Evaluation

We analyze key financial metrics, including sales, operating profit, Net Income, earnings per share, return on equity, and their trends over time. Understanding whether a company is growing and evolving—or stagnating and incurring losses—is essential for making informed investment decisions.

2. Dividend Policy Evaluation

A company’s approach to dividends reflects its transparency and management strength. At MaxDividends, we assess:

Whether the company pays dividends
Dividend trends and payment frequency
Whether dividends come from current income rather than past profits or debt
Dividend per share and the percentage of profit allocated to payouts

A well-structured dividend policy—whether through consistent payments, regular increases, or reinvesting all funds into growth—indicates strong, strategic business management.

We also consider share buyback programs. When a company repurchases its own shares, it signals management’s confidence that the stock is undervalued.

3. Stability Evaluation

This section measures the company’s overall financial health, including:

The ratio of total assets to total liabilities
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities
Debt-to-equity ratio
Growth sustainability

A financially stable company maintains a strong cushion to navigate market downturns and continue operating effectively during economic crises.

Scoring System: Growth – Dividend – Stability

Each section—Growth, Dividend, and Stability—has a maximum score of 5 points. If a company meets all top-tier business criteria, it earns a total of 15 points. The system then ranks companies and converts this evaluation into the Financial Score:

The Global Financial Score ranks companies worldwide.
The Local Financial Score ranks companies within a specific country.

Why This Matters

Buy Strong Businesses, Sell Weak Ones

Historically, companies with a Financial Score of 90+ have significantly outperformed those with lower ratings. See how high-rated stocks (90+) compare to lower-rated stocks (60 and below) in terms of performance.

⭐️ MaxDividends Five-Step Secret Formula

Here's the five-step formula we use to identify businesses built to last forever. Each step ensures that the company is financially strong, capable of generating growing passive income, and positioned for long-term success.

1️⃣ Sales Growth – The Foundation of a Strong Business

Consistent revenue growth over the past 10-15 years is a key sign of a thriving company. It shows that demand for its products and services is increasing, allowing it to expand operations, gain market share, and invest in future growth. Businesses that can consistently grow sales tend to have strong competitive advantages, making them resilient in any market condition.

A Key Indicator of Business Strength

We prioritize companies with long-term positive sales trends, as consistent revenue growth is a strong signal of a thriving business.

Sales trends are crucial—if sales are stagnant or declining, the business is in trouble. Sustainable growth starts with increasing sales, as it fuels profitability and long-term success. A company with strong sales momentum can overcome other challenges.

That's why the MaxDividends screener focuses on identifying businesses with a history of steady sales growth, ensuring they are on an upward trajectory and built for the future.

2️⃣ Profit Growth – The Fuel for Dividend Growth

Revenue alone isn't enough—what truly matters is how efficiently a company turns that revenue into consistent, growing profits. Profitability is the foundation of sustainable dividend growth and long-term financial strength.

Why Profit Growth Matters

Stronger Dividend Growth – Companies with rising profits have the ability to increase dividend payouts consistently without jeopardizing their financial health. When profits grow, dividends naturally follow.
Reinvestment & Expansion – A profitable company can reinvest in innovation, acquisitions, and market expansion, securing its future growth and competitive edge.
Resilience During Downturns – Companies with healthy and growing profits have better cash reserves and financial flexibility to weather economic downturns, inflation, and market volatility. This ensures stability in dividend payments even in tough times.
Efficiency & Strong Management – Consistently rising profits indicate a well-run business with disciplined cost management and the ability to maintain or expand profit margins over time.

At MaxDividends, we focus on companies with a proven track record of profit growth—not just those increasing revenue, but those consistently improving their bottom line.

These are the companies that not only reward shareholders today but also secure a future of rising passive income.

3️⃣ Net Business Income – The True Measure of Financial Strength

Net income is what remains after all expenses, taxes, and costs. This is the company's real earning power. We analyze businesses that generate strong, sustainable net income, ensuring they have enough cash flow to continue paying—and increasing—dividends over time.

Profitability Check: A Decade of Consistent Earnings

We prioritize companies that have maintained profitability for at least 10 years, proving their ability to generate steady earnings through various market cycles and economic conditions.

Why Profitability Matters

Sustained Dividend Payments – Only consistently profitable companies can reliably fund and increase dividends without taking on excessive debt.
Resilience Through Market Cycles – A 10+ year track record of profitability typically covers multiple economic cycles, including recessions, inflationary periods, and market corrections. Companies that remain profitable through these phases have proven their business model's durability.
Financial Strength & Stability – Long-term profitability ensures a company has strong cash flow, manageable debt levels, and the ability to reinvest in growth, innovation, and shareholder returns.

While some companies struggle during downturns, those with a decade of consistent earnings have already weathered major market events and economic disruptions.

These are the businesses we trust for long-term dividend growth and financial security.

4️⃣ Dividend Payout Safety – Protecting Your Passive Income

A high dividend yield is meaningless if the company can't afford to sustain it. We evaluate payout ratios to ensure the company is not overextending itself.

The best companies have a balanced approach—paying generous dividends while still reinvesting in future growth. Dividend safety is crucial for long-term income stability.

Dividend Consistency: 15+ Years of Reliable Payouts

We focus on companies that have paid dividends consistently for at least 15 years, proving their commitment to rewarding shareholders.

Why Dividend Consistency Matters

Reliable Passive Income – A strong dividend history ensures steady and predictable cash flow, essential for long-term investors seeking financial stability.
Proven Business Strength – Companies that maintain and grow dividends for over 15 years have weathered economic downturns, inflation, and market volatility—demonstrating resilience and financial discipline.
Confidence in Future Growth – A long track record of dividend payments and increases gives investors a strong foundation for predicting future income growth and building generational wealth.

At MaxDividends, we focus on businesses that don't just pay dividends—but consistently raise them year after year, ensuring a growing passive income stream you can count on.

Dividend Coverage – Ensuring Dividends Are Paid from Profit with a Sufficient Surplus

Stable dividend payments and long-term growth rely on dividends being funded by current profits rather than past earnings or borrowed money.

MaxDividends ensures that dividends are well-covered by profits, demonstrating strong financial planning and competent management.

5️⃣ Debt Burden – Avoiding Financial Traps

Too much debt can cripple a company, even if its revenues and profits look great. We analyze how well a company manages its liabilities, ensuring that debt levels are under control. Low-debt companies are better equipped to navigate economic downturns and continue paying dividends without disruption.

This is how we build lasting wealth and financial freedom.

Reading the Business, Not Just the Ticker

For us, every ticker on the exchange is more than a symbol. It's a business run by real people, working every day to bring value into the world. Some build simple, everyday essentials.

Others flip entire industries upside down with breakthroughs.

That's why we re-built the Company Analytics Page — so you don't just see numbers, you actually read the business.

Company Analytics Page

👉 At the very top, you'll now find a short, simple description: what the company does, how it makes money, and the value it adds. Because before you invest, you should know what you're partnering with.

The Dividend Code — Right Up Front

Right below that, you'll see the key dividend stats: yield, streak, payout ratio, growth history. In two clicks, you know whether this business fits your long-term plan and deserves a spot in your portfolio.

Key dividend stats in one place: streak, payout, yield, growth — clean, simple, accurate.

The Secret Formula, Made Simple

We've also rolled out the MaxDividends 5-Step Formula.

Our 5-step test for dividend safety and growth — sales, profits, debt, payouts, history — scored and ranked.

In one quick snapshot, you'll see the five pillars of dividend safety and growth:

Sales Growth

Growth trend, clear in one glance.

This makes dividend investing clear, structured, and honestly — fun.

Valuation: Paying the Right Price

Once you've studied the business and its dividend code, the final step is price. And you know me — I love a discount. Why overpay when you can buy cash flow at a bargain?

We added clear valuation checks:

Is this stock fairly priced compared to peers?
Is it above or below its own 10-year average?
Is it even trading below book value?

Check if a stock is fairly priced vs peers, history, and book value — spot bargains before the crowd.

Stack the company against rivals. If it earns more per share, it's undervalued. If less, overpriced.

Compare today's P/E with its own 10-year history. Above average = expensive. Below = bargain.

See if the stock trades below its assets. That's buying the business with built-in margin of safety.

That's how you find hidden gems before the crowd — strong businesses trading at a discount, compounding your income and growth.

📊 Dashboard

A quick breakdown of what you see on the main screen of the app. All dividend numbers are shown as gross amounts (before taxes). What’s shown depends on the portfolio or strategy you selected in the settings.

Current Balance

This is your total portfolio value across all strategies. We calculate it by multiplying the number of shares you own by the current stock price — then summing everything up. The number is shown in your main profile currency.

Want to customize what you see? Tap the gear icon in the top-right corner of the dashboard. You can:

Choose specific strategies or view your entire portfolio
Change how the chart looks
Set default timeframes and display options

Capital Gains

Here’s how we break it down:

Unrealized Gains – What you could make (or lose) if you sold your stocks today. Based on the shares you’re still holding. We use FIFO (first in, first out) to track which shares count.
Realized Gains – What you’ve already made (or lost) by selling. Based on your sales history. Also calculated using FIFO.
Total Returns – The full picture: realized + unrealized. It tells you what you’ve made so far and how much is still “on paper.”

Passive Income

Monthly

This is your average monthly dividend income based on what you’ve received over the past 12 months. We add up the regular dividend payments and divide by 12.

No specials, no one-offs — just the core dividend income.

Annually

Same idea, but summed up for the full year. Based on the shares you currently hold and the regular dividends those stocks paid over the past 12 months.

Special or irregular dividends aren’t included.

Dividend Yield on Cost

This one shows how much income you’re getting based on what you originally paid.

Let’s say you invested $100 and the stock pays you $2 a year in dividends — that’s a 2% dividend yield on cost.

Now, let’s say that same company raises its dividend every year, and 10 years later you’re getting $6 a year. Your dividend yield on cost is now 6%.

Total Paid

This is the total amount of dividends you’ve collected over time — every single payout tracked based on your holdings at the time of each announcement.

We look at when and how many shares you owned when a company announced a dividend and add up every cash dividend you’ve received.

That includes regulars, specials, one-timers — if it hit your account, we track it.

Dividend Chart

All numbers are shown before taxes. This chart reflects whatever strategy or portfolio you’ve selected.

Monthly Income Tab

You’ll see:

Your current average monthly dividend income
A future growth forecast based on historical dividend increases

How we calculate current monthly income

We total all regular dividends paid over the last 12 months, divide by 12 — that’s your average monthly income. No specials or one-time bonuses are counted.

How we project dividend growth

We track how fast dividends have grown in your portfolio over the last 3, 5, and 10 years, using your actual stock weightings and payout history.

Then, we forecast where your income could head over time — assuming reinvested dividends and average historical growth rates.

You can switch between two chart modes:

Daily dividend income
Monthly averages + future growth forecast

Balance Tab (right side)

Just like before — here we show Unrealized Gains: what your stocks are worth now versus what you paid. If you sold them today, this is what you’d pocket (or lose). FIFO applies here too. Want to change how this chart looks?

Head to the dashboard settings (gear icon, top-right corner) and adjust it to fit your style.

💡 The MaxDividends Strategy – Three Great, Effective, and Simple Steps

We have a very simple, time-tested strategy that will undoubtedly get me—and each of you—to our goal.

Our strategy is to invest in reliable, resilient businesses that increase their dividends every single year.

Every year, more and more cash income flows into our pockets. Sounds great? It absolutely is. Let Me Tell You a Bit More About How We Do It.

🟢 Step 1: Companies with 15+ Years of Consistent Dividend Growth

We invest in companies that have consistently increased their dividend payouts to shareholders every year for 15+ years.

In addition to that, we use a secret five-step formula to identify businesses built to last forever.

This gives us a double advantage: a rapidly growing, reliable source of passive income and long-term capital appreciation to leave a solid legacy for future generations.

🟢 Step 2: MaxDividends The 5 Pillars Formula Checklist

Here’s the five-step formula we use to identify businesses built to last forever. Each step ensures that the company is financially strong, capable of generating growing passive income, and positioned for long-term success.

1️⃣ Sales Growth – The Foundation of a Strong Business

Businesses that can consistently grow sales tend to have strong competitive advantages, making them resilient in any market condition.

2️⃣ Profit Growth – The Fuel for Dividend Growth

Revenue means nothing if it doesn’t translate into higher profits. We look for companies that not only grow sales but also improve their earnings year after year.

A company with consistent profit growth can reinvest in itself, reward shareholders with rising dividends, and weather economic downturns.

3️⃣ Net Business Income – The True Measure of Financial Strength

Net Income is what remains after all expenses, taxes, and costs. This is the company’s real earning power.

We analyze businesses that generate strong, sustainable Net Income, ensuring they have enough cash flow to continue paying—and increasing—dividends over time.

The best companies have a balanced approach—paying generous dividends while still reinvesting in future growth. Dividend safety is crucial for long-term income stability.

5️⃣ Debt Burden – Avoiding Financial Traps

Too much debt can cripple a company, even if its revenues and profits look great. We analyze how well a company manages its liabilities, ensuring that debt levels are under control. Low-debt companies are better equipped to navigate economic downturns and continue paying dividends without disruption.

🦅 Dividend Eagles

By applying this five-step formula, we filter out unstable businesses and focus only on high-quality, financially strong companies that provide growing passive income. This is how we build lasting wealth and financial freedom.

🟢 Step 3: What I Love Most

We always know exactly what to do next.

📈 Company raised its dividend? Great—see it next year.

❌ Company cut or canceled its dividend? We sell it and replace it with another one we love.

We have a very simple plan: We let the best companies in our portfolios grow and forget about the laggards. Meanwhile, our passive income always increases. And with it, our capital grows, too.

Resilience Through Market Cycles – A 10+ year track record of profitability typically covers multiple economic cycles, including recessions, inflationary periods, and market corrections. Companies that remain profitable through these phases have proven their business model’s durability.
Financial Strength & Stability – Long-term profitability ensures a company has strong cash flow, manageable debt levels, and the ability to reinvest in growth, innovation, and shareholder returns.

While some companies struggle during downturns, those with a decade of consistent earnings have already weathered major market events and economic disruptions.

These are the businesses we trust for long-term dividend growth and financial security.

4️⃣ Dividend Payout Safety – Protecting Your Passive Income

A high dividend yield is meaningless if the company can’t afford to sustain it. We evaluate payout ratios to ensure the company is not overextending itself.

The best companies have a balanced approach—paying generous dividends while still reinvesting in future growth. Dividend safety is crucial for long-term income stability.

Dividend Consistency: 15+ Years of Reliable Payouts

We focus on companies that have paid dividends consistently for at least 15 years, proving their commitment to rewarding shareholders.

Why Dividend Consistency Matters

Reliable Passive Income – A strong dividend history ensures steady and predictable cash flow, essential for long-term investors seeking financial stability.
Proven Business Strength – Companies that maintain and grow dividends for over 15 years have weathered economic downturns, inflation, and market volatility—demonstrating resilience and financial discipline.
Confidence in Future Growth – A long track record of dividend payments and increases gives investors a strong foundation for predicting future income growth and building generational wealth.

At MaxDividends, we focus on businesses that don’t just pay dividends—but consistently raise them year after year, ensuring a growing passive income stream you can count on.

Dividend Coverage – Ensuring Dividends Are Paid from Profit with a Sufficient Surplus

Stable dividend payments and long-term growth rely on dividends being funded by current profits rather than past earnings or borrowed money.

MaxDividends ensures that dividends are well-covered by profits, demonstrating strong financial planning and competent management.

5️⃣ Debt Burden – Avoiding Financial Traps

Too much debt can cripple a company, even if its revenues and profits look great. We analyze how well a company manages its liabilities, ensuring that debt levels are under control. Low-debt companies are better equipped to navigate economic downturns and continue paying dividends without disruption.

This is how we build lasting wealth and financial freedom.

Intro

I use the MaxDividends app all the time because I love knowing exactly what’s going on with my portfolio—where I stand today and what’s coming next. Which companies are paying me dividends this month? Am I staying right on track with my plan? How much have I already collected in dividends?

The app makes it super easy with a dedicated Dividends tab, and honestly—it’s awesome. So today, let’s walk through it together and break down the analytics blocks inside and how they work. Let’s dive in!

1) Annual Dividends

This shows the total dividends your portfolio is expected to generate over the next 12 months, based on the current or recently announced regular dividend payments from the companies you own.

Example 1: Company A pays $1 per share per year. You own 10 shares.

Annual Dividends = 10 × $1 = $10
Average Monthly Dividends = $10 ÷ 12 = $0.83
Average Daily Dividends = $10 ÷ 365 ≈ $0.027

Example 2: Company B pays $4 per share per year, quarterly ($1 each quarter). They announce a dividend increase to $2 per quarter starting next quarter. You own 10 shares.

Annual Dividends after the increase = $2 × 4 = $8 per share
For 10 shares = 10 × $8 = $80 per year
Average Monthly Dividends = $80 ÷ 12 ≈ $6.66
Average Daily Dividends = $80 ÷ 365 ≈ $0.219

2) Top 3 Payers

Shows the three largest upcoming regular dividend payments you're set to receive over the next 12 months (from today's date). Special dividends are excluded.

Example 1

Company A pays a dividend of $1, four times a year (once each quarter). Future dividend income = $1 × 4 = $4 expected over the next 12 months.

Example 2

Company A pays a dividend of $1 each quarter.

Q1 = $1

Q2 = $1

Q3 = $1

Q4 = they raise the dividend to $2 per quarter.

Now the new annual rate is $2 × 4 = $8. Future dividend income = $8 expected over the next 12 months.

Example 3

Company A pays $1 each quarter, so $1 × 4 = $4 in the next 12 months. They also announce a one-time special dividend of $100.

Future dividend income = still $4. Special dividends don't count toward forward income — only regular dividends are included.

We calculate this by:

Looking at all the dividends each company paid over the last 12 months.
Checking how many shares you owned on each ex-dividend date.
Adding it all up for each company.

The top three total payers take the spotlight here.

3) Dividend Yield

Forward Dividend Yield (FWD): Your expected dividend yield one year from now, factoring in your portfolio’s average historical dividend growth over the past 3–5–10 years.

Example: Current yield is 10%, average dividend growth is 20% per year → Next year’s projected yield = 10% + 20% = 12%.
Dividend Yield on Cost: Your dividend yield based on your original investment.

Example: Invested $100 three years ago, stock paid $5/year back then → Yield on Cost was 5%. Now it pays $10/year → Yield on Cost is 10%.
Dividend Yield TTM: The yield you’d get if you bought your current portfolio today at today’s prices.

4) 10Y / 5Y / YTD Annual Dividend Growth

10Y Annual Dividend Growth: The average annual growth rate of your portfolio’s dividends over the past 10 years.

Example: 10 years ago, $5/year → today $15/year = +300% total, ≈ +12% per year.
5Y Annual Dividend Growth: Same as above but for the past 5 years.
YTD Dividend Growth: How much a company’s dividend payments have grown this year.

Example: January = $1, April = $2 → +100% growth YTD.

5) Monthly Income

Shows both actual and projected monthly dividends:

Past month: Actual dividends received (after record dates, before taxes).
Current month: Actual + already declared upcoming payments.
Future months: Based on declared dividends and forecasts from past payment history, your share count, and purchase dates.

6) Average Annual Dividend Growth

Average dividend growth in your portfolio for the selected period (1, 5, or 10 years).

Example: Same as the 10Y example above — $5/year → $15/year over 10 years = ≈ +12% annual growth.

This section breaks it down by each company you own.

7) Dividend Income by Industries

Shows your expected 12-month dividend income, broken down by industry using the GICS classification system.

We:

Take the past 12 months of dividend payments for each company you own.
Add them up (regular + special).
Group by industry and show your top 10 sectors as both a list and a chart.

8) Payouts History

The full history of all dividend payments you’ve received since creating your portfolio — regular + special, before taxes.

9) Monthly Income Growth over Years

Total dividends per year (regular + special, before taxes), compared year-over-year for the past three full calendar years.

10) Dividend Growth by Industries (TTM)

Shows dividend growth in your portfolio by industry over the past 12 months:

Compare average dividend per share now vs. one year ago for each company.
Factor in your share count and portfolio weighting.
Group results by industry and show overall growth rates.
