About MO
Altria is a tobacco company and long-time Dividend King that targets a high payout ratio, giving it one of the highest yields among large US blue chips. The high yield reflects the structural decline of its core cigarette business.
MO is a high-yield stock from Altria 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 MO: 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 MO calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with MO’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 high-yield 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.
MO dividend calculator FAQ
- How does this MO dividend calculator work?
- It runs a month-by-month projection: each month it adds your contribution, pays a dividend based on the yield you enter, optionally reinvests it (DRIP), then applies price growth. The page loads with illustrative figures for Altria Group; replace them with the current yield and your own assumptions for an accurate projection.
- What yield should I use for MO?
- Use MO's current dividend yield from your broker or the fund page, not the example value pre-filled here — yields move with the share price and the distribution. Enter the trailing or forward yield, whichever you prefer to model.
- Does MO pay monthly or quarterly?
- Altria Group pays quarterly. This calculator projects annual totals and compounds monthly, so it works the same regardless of the actual payment schedule — the quarterly cadence just affects when cash actually lands in your account.
- Is the MO 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.
