About the PAYX dividend calculator
The Paychex (PAYX) dividend income calculator reconstructs what an actual cash investment would have paid out in dividends. At the split-adjusted closing price of $0.7024 on Nov 4, 1988, an investment of $1,000 bought 1,423.77 shares — the cost basis every payout below is measured against, through May 13, 2026.
Across that span those shares have paid $65,009.40 in dividends — about 65× the $1,000 invested. Measured against the entry price, yield on cost moved from 0.72% in its first full year (1989) to 601% 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.
