About BLK
BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager, best known for its iShares ETF franchise and institutional investment services. Its yearly dividend total has risen every year since at least 2014.
BLK is a dividend-growth stock from BlackRock that distributes quarterly. Because dividend investing is about both income and the growth of that income, the calculator above lets you model three things independently for BLK: the starting yield, how fast the dividend grows each year, and how fast the share price appreciates. That separation matters most for high-yield versus dividend-growth choices, where a lower starting yield that grows quickly can overtake a higher static yield over time.
How to use the BLK calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with BLK’s current dividend yield from your broker or the fund’s page.
- Set your initial investment and monthly contribution.
- Estimate the dividend growth rate and price growth rate. For a dividend-growth stock these can differ a lot — be realistic rather than optimistic.
- Choose your dividend tax rate and whether to reinvest (DRIP), then read the projected value, dividends received, and yield on cost.
