When you own a dividend-paying stock, you are paid a portion of the company&#8217;s profits.<\/li>\n<li>Dividends can provide a consistent income stream from your investments in addition to any growth in your portfolio from the stocks increasing in value.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-how-dividend-investing-works\"\/> <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-1\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block money-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> How Dividend Investing Works <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-2\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nDividends are payments that a corporation makes to its shareholders. When you own stocks that pay dividends, you are getting paid a portion of the company&#8217;s profits, which can help you earn income.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-4\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nCompanies usually pay cash dividends quarterly, and if the company&#8217;s profits increase over the years, the dividend amount may increase too. Dividends can also be paid from the company&#8217;s retained earnings, which is a sort of savings account of accumulated profits over the years. Companies can also pay dividends in stock, meaning they give equity shares instead of cash.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-6\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block money-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Example of Dividend Investing <\/span> <\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-7\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nSuppose you invest in a company that pays a 3% dividend per share. If you own one share of the company, and the shares are worth $100, you would receive $3 in dividends. However, if you owned 200 shares, you would receive $600 in dividends. The calculation is as follows:\n<\/p>\n<ul id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-9\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\n<li>($100 share price * 200 shares) = $20,000 * 3% or 0.03 = $600<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-11\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nIt&#8217;s important to note that when a dividend rate is quoted, it&#8217;s typically an annual dividend rate, meaning your payout would be divided by four if it was paid out quarterly. So, in our example above, your dividend payment would be $150 per quarter ($600 \u00f7 4), assuming the same share price and the number of shares.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-13\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block money-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRIPs) <\/span> <\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-14\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nBuying stocks that pay dividends can reward you over time as long as you make smart buying choices. Some companies may have a dividend reinvestment plan, often called &#8220;DRIP.&#8221; With a DRIP, you can choose to reinvest your dividends to buy more shares instead of taking them as cash.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"6\"\/> This can be a wise plan when your dividends are small, either because the company is growing or because you don&#8217;t own much stock.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-are-dividends-safe\"\/> <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-16\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block money-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> Are Dividends Safe? <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-17\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nTypically, companies that have consistently paid dividends tend to be well-established and mostly profitable over many years. When investing, try to look for dividend safety, meaning how likely a company will keep paying dividends at the same rate or higher.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-19\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nWhile there are services that assess and rank dividend safety, you can do your own research by comparing a company&#8217;s earnings\u2014or profit\u2014to its dividend payments.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-21\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nIf a company earns $100 million and pays out $90 million in dividends to its shareholders, you&#8217;ll make more of a profit than you would if it only were to pay $30 million in dividends. On the other hand, if it pays out $90 million in dividends and the company&#8217;s profit declines by 10%, it won&#8217;t be able to keep paying the dividends at the same high rate.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-23\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nLowered dividends, in turn, lower your income. The $30 million payout could also decrease in this case, but by a much lower percentage.\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-25\" class=\"comp theme-experttiptip mntl-sc-block money-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_1-0-1\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">\nTips<\/h3>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_1-0-1\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block\">\n<p>In many cases, companies that pay 60% or less of their earnings as dividends are safer bets, because they can be counted on for predictability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-26\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nDividend safety is also determined by the riskiness of the industry in which the company operates. Even if a company has a low dividend payout ratio, your dividend payment might be less safe if the industry isn&#8217;t stable.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-28\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nLook for companies that have a history of stable revenue, profit, and cash flow. The more stable the money coming in to cover the dividend, the higher or more consistent the dividend payouts.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-strategies-for-dividend-investing\"\/> <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-30\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block money-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> Strategies for Dividend Investing <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-31\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nGood dividend investors tend to focus on either a high dividend yield approach or a high dividend growth rate strategy. Both serve distinct roles in a portfolio.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-33\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nWith the high dividend yield approach, the focus is on slowly growing companies that have high cash flow. This allows them to fund large dividend payments, and it could provide you with an immediate income.\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-35\" class=\"comp theme-experttipnote mntl-sc-block money-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_1-0-2\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">\nNote<\/h3>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_1-0-2\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block\">\n<p>If a stock pays a $1 dividend, and you can buy shares for $20, the stock has a 5% yield. If you were to invest $1 million, you would receive $50,000 in income after a year&#8217;s worth of dividends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-36\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nUsing the high dividend growth rate, your focus is on buying stock in companies that pay low dividends but are growing quickly. This means you are buying profitable stocks at a lower rate and making a large amount of income over a five- or 10-year period.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-38\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nDifferent investors may prefer one approach over the other. It all depends on whether your goal is immediate and stable income or whether you prefer long-term growth and profit.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-40\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nWhen choosing a method, decide what level of risk you prefer. Think about how long you are willing to wait for your dividends to produce your desired level of income.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-what-are-the-tax-benefits\"\/> <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-42\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block money-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> What Are the Tax Benefits? <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-43\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nLook for dividends that are deemed to be &#8220;qualified&#8221; in order to get some tax benefits. Most income from dividends is taxed as ordinary income, but qualified dividend stocks held for a longer length of time\u2014often 60 days or more\u2014are taxed at the lower capital gains tax rates.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-45\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nIf you buy stocks to get the dividend payment and then you want to sell them quickly, you&#8217;ll have to pay your normal tax rate on that income.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"7\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-things-to-watch-out-for\"\/> <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-47\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block money-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> Things To Watch Out For <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-48\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nIf you invest through a margin account instead of a cash account, your broker might take shares of stock you own and lend them to traders who want to short the stock.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-50\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nThese traders, who will have sold the stock you held without telling you, must pay you any dividends that you missed. That&#8217;s because you aren&#8217;t truly holding the stock at the moment. The money comes out of their account as long as they keep their short position open. Then, you will get a payment equal to what you would have made in actual dividend income.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-52\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\nSince the cash is not counted as a dividend, it is treated as ordinary income. Instead of paying the lower tax rate, you&#8217;ll have to pay your higher income tax rate.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"8\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-frequently-asked-questions-faqs\"\/> <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-54\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block money-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) <\/span> <\/h2>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-55\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block money-sc-block-questionandanswer mntl-sc-block-questionandanswer\">\n<span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-how-do-dividends-make-you-money\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mntl-sc-block-questionandanswer__question\">How do dividends make you money?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"mntl-sc-block-questionandanswer__answer\">\n<p>If your goal is stable income, you can invest in companies that consistently pay dividends based on their track record of profit.
