AT&T dividend history
Before the cut, the payout grew slowly. It rose from $1.88 per share in 2015 to $2.08 in 2020, about 4 cents a year. 2021 paid the same $2.08, the first year in the table with no rise.
2022 mixed one old payment with three new ones, so it came to $1.3525, 35.0% less. 2023 fell another 17.9% to $1.11. Since then every year has paid exactly $1.11: four payments of $0.2775 in 2024, in 2025 and again in 2026.

About T
AT&T is a US telecom carrier widely held for its high dividend yield. After resetting its dividend in 2022 following the WarnerMedia spin-off, it pays a substantial but no longer rapidly growing payout.
T is a high-yield stock from AT&T 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 T: 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 T calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with T’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.

- How does this T 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.

- Is the T projection a guarantee?
