About the COST dividend calculator

The Costco (COST) dividend income calculator reconstructs what an actual cash investment would have paid out in dividends. At the split-adjusted closing price of $36.30 on May 6, 2004, an investment of $1,000 bought 27.55 shares — the cost basis every payout below is measured against, through May 1, 2026.

Across that span those shares have paid $2,233.88 in dividends — about 2.2× the $1,000 invested. Measured against the entry price, yield on cost moved from 1.23% in its first full year (2005) to 13.94% by 2025, reflecting a dividend that has grown far faster than the price originally paid.

These numbers assume every dividend was taken as cash. Reinvesting instead — the DRIP toggle above — would buy additional shares at each ex-date price, compounding the share count and lifting every subsequent payment.
