About NEE
NextEra Energy is a large US utility that owns Florida Power & Light and is one of the world’s biggest generators of wind and solar power. It is a Dividend Aristocrat known for a faster dividend-growth rate than most utilities.
NEE is a dividend-growth stock from NextEra Energy 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 NEE: 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 NEE calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with NEE’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.

- Is the NEE 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.
