GIS pays roughly once a quarter (4× a year). Figures use GIS’s current yield and assume it stays constant; real yields move with the share price and the dividend. Share counts are approximate, based on an estimated price of about $35.83. For a covered-call or variable-payout fund the yield is backward-looking, not a promise.

About GIS

General Mills is a packaged-foods company whose brands include Cheerios, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, and Blue Buffalo. It has an exceptionally long history of uninterrupted dividend payments and currently carries an above-average yield among consumer-staples names.

GIS is a high-yield stock from General Mills 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 GIS: 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 GIS calculator

  1. Replace the pre-filled yield with GIS’s current dividend yield from your broker or the fund’s page.
  2. Set your initial investment and monthly contribution.
  3. Estimate the dividend growth rate and price growth rate. For a high-yield stock these can differ a lot — be realistic rather than optimistic.
  4. 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.

GIS dividend calculator FAQ

How does this GIS 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 GIS's current yield (about 6.81% as of Jul 10, 2026); adjust the dividend-growth, price-growth, and tax assumptions to fit your own outlook.
What yield should I use for GIS?
As of Jul 10, 2026, GIS's dividend yield was about 6.81% ($2.44 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 GIS pay dividends, and when?
General Mills, Inc. pays a quarterly dividend; its most recent payment was $0.61 per share, ex-dividend Jul 10, 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 GIS 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.
