PG Dividend Calculator: Project Procter & Gamble Dividend Income

Procter & Gamble sells everyday household and personal-care brands — a business mix that has produced steady cash flow and one of the longest dividend-increase records in the market.

The yield is typically higher than the broad market but below high-yield sectors, and the payout consumes a majority of earnings. The case for PG is consistency: demand for toothpaste and detergent holds up across economic cycles.

Use this calculator to project PG income with or without reinvestment, model contributions, and work backwards from a monthly goal.

PG frequently asked questions

PG yields about 2.98% per year on a trailing basis at $146.23 per share. Its yield generally runs above the S&P 500 average because the company pays out a large share of earnings as dividends.

PG's portfolio of everyday brands generates predictable cash flow, and the company has raised its dividend for decades — one of the longest records among U.S. companies. The payout ratio is on the high side, so growth depends on steady earnings.

PG's distributions are generally qualified dividends, taxed at long-term capital gains rates in taxable accounts. Holding PG in a retirement account removes the annual tax drag. Confirm your own situation with a tax professional.
