How the calculator works

Each year the calculator takes your shares times the dividend per share, knocks off your chosen tax rate, and either reinvests what is left (DRIP) or keeps it as cash. Dividends and the share price then grow at the rates you set. Reinvesting buys more shares, which pay more dividends, which buy more shares. That loop is the snowball, and over a decade or two it does most of the heavy lifting.
