A Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) automatically uses your dividend payments to purchase additional shares of the same stock, instead of paying them out as cash. Over time, this compounds your position and accelerates wealth building.
Reinvesting dividends harnesses the power of compounding. Each additional share you acquire generates its own dividends, which buy even more shares. This snowball effect means your portfolio grows exponentially over long periods — often doubling returns compared to taking dividends as cash.
Imagine investing $10,000 in Coca-Cola at a 3% yield. With quarterly DRIP over 20 years, your position could grow to over $18,000 — without adding a single dollar. The shares acquired through reinvestment generate their own dividends, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of growth.

Monthly DRIP compounding supercharges the snowball effect. Instead of waiting for a quarterly payout, reinvesting dividends every month means your fresh shares start earning immediately — giving you 12 compounding events per year instead of 4. Select 'Monthly' in the frequency dropdown above to model this scenario.
The table below shows what a €10,000 investment grows to under full monthly reinvestment at different yields. The longer the horizon, the more dramatic the gap.
| Annual Yield | 10 Years | 20 Years | 30 Years |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2% yield | €12,209 | €14,920 | €18,221 |
| 4% yield | €14,908 | €22,224 | €33,115 |
| 6% yield | €18,194 | €33,102 | €60,226 |

Every dividend you take as cash breaks the compounding chain. Every dividend you reinvest adds shares that earn their own dividends next cycle. The table below shows the real difference in final portfolio value for common scenarios, using quarterly reinvestment.
| Scenario | Cash Dividends | Dividends Reinvested | DRIP Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| €10k · 3% yield · 10 years | €13,000 | €13,439 | +€439 |
| €10k · 3% yield · 20 years | €16,000 | €18,061 | +€2,061 |
| €10k · 5% yield · 20 years | €20,000 | €26,533 | +€6,533 |
| €10k · 5% yield · 30 years | €25,000 | €43,219 | +€18,219 |

Canadian investors can select CAD and model DRIP returns for TSX-listed dividend stocks. US dividend withholding tax is typically 15% under the Canada-US tax treaty for non-registered accounts — enter the after-tax yield for a realistic projection.
UK investors can select GBP to model returns in pounds. Within a Stocks & Shares ISA, reinvested dividends are free of UK dividend tax — making ISA-sheltered DRIP the most efficient compounding route available to UK investors.
Australian investors can select AUD to model DRIP returns in local currency. Australia's franking credit system means dividends from Australian companies often carry imputation credits that reduce dividend tax. Superannuation accounts in accumulation phase tax dividends at 15%, making them well-suited to long-horizon DRIP strategies.
