About LMT
Lockheed Martin is the largest US defense contractor, building combat aircraft, missiles, space systems, and related technologies. It pays a quarterly dividend and has a long record of annual increases backed by multi-year government contracts.
LMT is a dividend-growth stock from Lockheed Martin 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 LMT: 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 LMT calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with LMT’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.
The full math, including how the money-weighted return is computed, is on the methodology page.

- How does this LMT 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 LMT's current yield (about 2.70% as of Oct 13, 2026); adjust the dividend-growth, price-growth, and tax assumptions to fit your own outlook.

- As of Oct 13, 2026, LMT's dividend yield was about 2.70% ($13.80 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.

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 LMT 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.
