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?

Global vs. Local Scores

Coverage and Methodology

• 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

2. Dividend Policy Evaluation

• 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

3. Stability Evaluation

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

Scoring System: Growth – Dividend – Stability

• 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

What’s MaxRatio (and Why It Matters)?

MaxRatio is a custom metric developed by the MaxDividends team to help spot companies with strong long-term dividend potential. It’s designed for investors who want to grow a solid stream of passive income over time—not just chase quick returns.

Basically, MaxRatio highlights companies that combine solid current dividend payouts and strong dividend growth. It helps you focus on the businesses that are set up to deliver real results over the long haul.

How to Read MaxRatio

Lower MaxRatio (below 4) usually means the company is more focused on reinvesting in growth. These are typically fast-growing businesses that don’t pay much in dividends now, but could offer serious capital appreciation.

Higher MaxRatio (above 8) points to companies with a strong dividend focus. These stocks either: pay generous dividends today and increase them steadily over time or start with a smaller payout but have a history of raising dividends aggressively every year.

Mid-range MaxRatio (between 4 and 8) signals a balanced company—one that’s growing and rewarding shareholders at the same time. These are often sweet spots for long-term dividend investors.

The MaxRatio is calculated using current dividend yield, dividend growth over the past 3, 5, and 10 years, and the company’s latest Financial Score. It’s one of the best ways we’ve found to cut through the noise and find dividend stocks that are actually built to last.

MaxDividends AI Assistant

📊 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:

1. Daily dividend income
2. 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The miracle of simplicity — this is what makes MaxDividends so valuable.

Why does this matter?

Reliable Passive Income – These companies have weathered recessions, market crashes, and economic downturns while continuing to pay and grow dividends.

Long-Term Wealth Growth – A history of rising dividends often signals a strong, well-managed business with sustainable earnings growth.

⭐️ #2 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 <strong>maintained profitability for at least 10 years</strong>, 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.
