About KO
Coca-Cola is a Dividend King, having raised its dividend for more than 60 consecutive years. It is a defensive consumer-staples blue chip widely held for reliable, slowly growing income.
KO is a dividend-king stock from Coca-Cola 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 KO: 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 KO calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with KO’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-king 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.
The full math, including how the money-weighted return is computed, is on the methodology page.
