About the TDS dividend calculator
The Telephone and Data Systems (TDS) dividend income calculator reconstructs what an actual cash investment would have paid out in dividends. At the split-adjusted closing price of $2.02 on Mar 13, 1985, an investment of $1,000 bought 495.05 shares — the cost basis every payout below is measured against, through Jun 16, 2026.
Across that span those shares have paid $12,205.36 in dividends — about 12× the $1,000 invested. Measured against the entry price, yield on cost moved from 8.06% in its first full year (1986) to 7.92% by 2025, roughly tracking the original cost basis.
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.
