Yield on cost
Illustrative only — not financial advice. Uses the same dividend growth rate as the projection you just ran (from Calculate). If dividend per share grows at that rate and cost basis is unchanged, forward yield on today's investment compounds as shown (not a price or total-return forecast).

| 1 | 1.05% |
| 3 | 1.19% |
| 5 | 1.35% |
