The Best Dividend Tracker to Protect and Grow Your Income

Getting Started

Connect your brokerage account, import a spreadsheet, or type in your holdings to see your portfolio snap to life in a beautiful display tailored for the needs of a modern dividend investor.

After a quick setup, you'll be treated with a big picture view of all your accounts and detailed data on each holding (including bonds and CDs) — all updated in near realtime and at your fingertips with pinpoint accuracy.

In addition to basic measures like your portfolio's balance, annual income, and dividend yield, you'll find reports covering dividend safety, diversification, dividend growth projections, undervalued holdings, and an income calendar.

Let's take a closer look at each of the reports available for your portfolio. 

Track Your Dividends

A dividend strategy is all about generating passive income, so let's start with the report that shows exactly when you're getting paid – the Income Calendar.

Inside, you'll see how much income is set to hit your account over the next 30 days. All publicly-traded securities are tracked, including funds and ETFs:

As with most elements of our dividend tracker, you can audit any of this data to see exactly how we calculate each amount:

For a longer-term view, "The Year Ahead" tab shows a monthly breakdown of your recurring income stream, plus any upcoming special dividends:

Whenever your holdings raise (or cut) their dividends, your income figures will update automatically. And we'll email you right away so you're never surprised by any changes.

Keep Your Dividends Safe

Tracking dividends is nice, but keeping your dividends safe is even better.

Most of our time each week is spent maintaining our Dividend Safety Score™ system to help investors do just that.

Harnessing data from vendors like S&P and Morningstar, our analysts review financial metrics, company news, industry developments, business model drivers, and other key indicators to assign stocks and closed-end funds Dividend Safety Scores™ between 0 and 100:

We maintain the industry's only published, realtime track record of dividend safety ratings. And we've helped investors avoid 98% of cuts since our scoring system's inception in 2015.

Your portfolio's Dividend Safety report contains our proprietary ratings for your holdings.

Inside, you'll find a breakdown of your holdings by Dividend Safety Score bucket. We explain the dividend cut risk in each group so you can make decisions that align with your risk tolerance.

If we ever change the score of one of your holdings, we will email you the rating change and our supporting analysis right away to keep you informed.

Review Your Dividend Portfolio's Growth Potential

Passive income growth is a powerful component of a dividend investing strategy. Your portfolio's Dividend Growth report captures this benefit.

Based on your current mix of holdings, this report shows how your portfolio's dividends would have grown over time:

This information can help set reasonable expectations about your portfolio's dividend growth potential, as covered by the "Income Forecast" report.

Based on your portfolio's historical dividend growth and whether you plan to reinvest dividends or make annual contributions going forward, you can see where your dividend income could track in the years ahead.

Keep Your Portfolio Diversified

Are your investments reasonably spread out across different companies and sectors? How much does your income stream depend on any one investment?

The Diversification report answers these questions to help keep your portfolio between the guardrails.

We prefer to invest no more than 25% of our portfolio in any sector. You can drill into any sector to see your relevant holdings and make adjustments.

This report also shows your portfolio's top sources of income. We prefer to limit any holding's exposure to no more than 5% of our portfolio's dividend stream.

Identify Undervalued Holdings

The final report, Timeliness, provides a look at potentially undervalued holdings.

Holdings are ranked by how far their dividend yields sit above their 5-year averages, as reflected by our Timeliness indicator, making them timely income opportunities to consider.
