About the GWW dividend calculator
The W.W. Grainger (GWW) dividend income calculator reconstructs what an actual cash investment would have paid out in dividends. At the split-adjusted closing price of $8.38 on Feb 5, 1985, an investment of $1,000 bought 119.33 shares — the cost basis every payout below is measured against, through May 11, 2026.
Across that span those shares have paid $12,477.77 in dividends — about 12× the $1,000 invested. Measured against the entry price, yield on cost moved from 2.12% in its first full year (1986) to 105% 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.
