estimate of a security's
dividend payments for the next 12 months; calculated using
prior and / or declared
dividends for that security; sourced from third - party vendors and derived using either a historical methodology (HM) or a projected methodology (PM), depending on available information; PM annualizes the most recent regular cash
dividend; HM accumulates the regular cash
dividends paid
over the past twelve months; if there is less than one
year of
dividend history, the accumulated
dividends are annualized; HM or PM figure, whichever is calculated, is then multiplied by the reported quantity of the security
Comparing and keeping track of my increase in passive income
year over year is important, so at the bottom of the
dividend calendar below, you find a comparison to the
prior period by month and in total for the entire
year.
