Ex-Dividend Date Calendar
Track upcoming ex-dividend dates, countdown to payouts, and estimate monthly dividend income.
How It Works
The Ex-Dividend Date Calendar helps you track when your stocks and ETFs pay dividends. For each ticker you follow, enter the next ex-dividend date, the payment date, the dividend amount per share, the payment frequency, and how many shares you own.
The calendar shows a countdown to each ex-dividend date so you can plan your buys before the cutoff. Urgency badges highlight imminent dates (within 3 days) and soon-approaching dates (within 7 days). Passed dates are dimmed but remain visible for reference.
A summary card at the top aggregates your total expected dividend income for the current month and quarter. The annualized estimate projects your yearly income by multiplying each declared dividend by its frequency.
Between the ex-dividend date and the payment date, the tool flags entries as being in the pending-payout window so you can track declared but unpaid dividends.
The Formula
days_until_ex_div = ex_div_date − today
days ≤ 0 → Passed | 1–3 → Imminent | 4–7 → Soon | 8+ → Upcoming
total_income = dividend_amount × shares
monthly_total = Σ(total_income for ex-div dates in current month)
annual_total = Σ(total_income × frequency_multiplier)
Frequency multipliers: monthly = 12×, quarterly = 4×, annual = 1×.
FAQ
How does the Ex-Dividend Calendar work?
This tool tracks upcoming ex-dividend dates for the stocks and ETFs you follow. You can manually enter dividend details for your holdings, or add tickers to build a watch list and see estimated income. All dates show a countdown so you never miss an ex-dividend date.
Does this tool pull live dividend data from Yahoo?
No. This tool relies on dividend data you enter manually. You fill in the ex-dividend date, pay date, amount per share, frequency, and number of shares you own. The calculator then computes your expected income and tracks the countdown.
What does 'between ex-div and pay date' mean?
If today's date is between the ex-dividend date and the payment date, you are in the record-period window and your dividend has been declared but not yet paid. The tool highlights these entries so you can see which payouts are pending.
How are monthly and annual totals calculated?
Monthly income shows the total dividends from tickers whose ex-dividend date falls in the current calendar month. The annual estimate uses the declared dividend amount multiplied by frequency (12x for monthly, 4x for quarterly, 1x for annual).
Is my data saved?
Your ticker list, shares, and dividend amounts are saved to your browser's localStorage. Dates are never persisted — they are recomputed fresh each time you open the page, so countdowns are always accurate relative to today.
