PayoutRange

PayoutRange shows what your dividend portfolio pays this year, when it pays, and a range of where it could go over 10 to 40 years. You enter the figures from your broker. The app does the math on your phone.

Coming to the App Store. Planning estimate. Not advice.

Features

What the app does

Each figure comes from numbers you enter or import, and the assumptions behind it are listed in the app.

Portfolio and holdings

Estimated annual dividends, with yield on cost shown next to current yield. Quick share adjustments keep a buy and sell ledger, so cost basis stays right. Optional market data can fill price, dividend and dates; anything you type wins, and Manual entry turns lookups off.

Yield on cost | Current yield | Cost basis

Dividends received

Record each payment as it lands and keep a running total for the year.

Year to date

Calendar

A month calendar with ex-dividend, record, pay and declaration days, and a year view of cash by month. Export to your calendar, with an optional reminder the day before an ex-dividend date.

Cash by month

Income goal

Track progress toward a monthly income goal against what the portfolio is expected to pay.

Goal progress

Widgets

A Dividend income widget shows estimated annual income and the next pay date.

Plan fan chart

The Plan runs a Monte Carlo simulation and draws bands, low, likely and high, instead of a single line. The run count is always shown. Free runs 1,000 simulations; Pro runs 10,000.
