With DRIP No DRIP

Total Return with and without DRIP (LLY)

Over the selected period, investing $10,000 in LLY would grow to $199,383 with DRIP (1,893.8%), and $171,076 without DRIP (1,610.8%).

LLY Dividend Reinvestment Snowball

Milestones on the way

By year 13, the compounding really starts to show. Your total dividends collected reach $2,056 against a total investment of $25,600. At this point, your portfolio is throwing off $330 per year in dividends alone.

By year 17, the annual dividend climbs to around your initial contribution. For a starting investment of $10,000, the yearly dividend now sits at approximately $512, a powerful “income on autopilot” milestone.

After two decades, cumulative dividends total $5,347 versus $34,000 invested, nearly a 16% recovery of capital purely from income. Yield on cost reaches 2.09%.

At year 25, the income engine takes over. The portfolio’s annual dividend of $1,220 is greater than total contributions to date ($40,000), and cumulative dividends exceed $9,809.

By year 30, the DRIP snowball is in full force. Yearly income reaches $2,094, cumulative dividends total $17,471, and the DRIP portfolio value stands at $34,473,404, compared with $33,477,818 if dividends weren’t reinvested.

How we estimate these numbers

We use the latest calculator inputs for LLY, price $1,104.34, dividend per period $1.50 (4x/year), along with historic growth assumptions: price growth 29.39% and dividend growth 11.39% annually.

We simulate month by month for 30 years. Every month, a $100 contribution is added and converted to shares at that month’s price. Dividends are paid roughly evenly across the year based on the dividend frequency; in the DRIP path, each payout immediately buys additional shares at the then-current price. In the No-DRIP path, dividends accrue as cash. Prices grow using a monthly rate derived from the annual price growth. Dividends per share increase once per year at the annual dividend growth rate.

This model isn’t investment advice; it’s a simple, transparent framework that illustrates how reinvesting dividends can accelerate both income and total return over time.

Projected Future Returns & Dividends for LLY

Based on past 10-year performance, here are LLY growth metrics:
