About DGRO
DGRO tracks the Morningstar US Dividend Growth Index, selecting companies with at least five consecutive years of dividend growth and sustainable payout ratios. It is a core holding for investors prioritising a rising payout over a high starting yield.
DGRO is a dividend-growth etf from iShares 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 DGRO: 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 DGRO calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with DGRO’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 etf 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.
The full math, including how the money-weighted return is computed, is on the methodology page.
DGRO dividend FAQ
- When does DGRO pay dividends?
- Four times a year, in March, June, September and December, usually three days after the ex-dividend date.
- Are DGRO dividends qualified?
- DGRO’s payouts come from the dividends of the U.S. companies it holds, and iShares labels them income. Much of that is usually qualified for holders who meet the holding period, but the exact share is set after year-end; your Form 1099-DIV shows it.
- What is DGRO’s expense ratio?
- 0.08% a year, according to iShares.
- How does this DGRO dividend calculator work?
- It runs a month-by-month projection: each month it adds your contribution, pays a dividend based on the yield, optionally reinvests it (DRIP), then applies price growth. The page loads pre-filled with DGRO's current yield (about 1.92% as of Oct 13, 2026); adjust the dividend-growth, price-growth, and tax assumptions to fit your own outlook.
- What yield should I use for DGRO?
- As of Oct 13, 2026, DGRO's dividend yield was about 1.92% ($1.4937 per share over the trailing year). Yields move with the share price, so use the current figure from your broker rather than a fixed number. Enter the trailing or forward yield, whichever you prefer to model.
- How often does DGRO pay dividends, and when?
- iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF pays a quarterly dividend; its most recent payment was $0.385 per share, ex-dividend Sep 15, 2026. This calculator compounds monthly and projects annual totals, so it works the same regardless of the payment schedule — the cadence just affects when cash actually lands in your account.
- Is the DGRO projection a guarantee?
- No. It is an educational projection based on the assumptions you enter, held constant. Real dividends can rise, be cut, or stop, and prices fluctuate. Use it to compare scenarios, not to predict returns, and never rely on a single calculator for an investment decision.
