Milestones on the way

By year 13, the compounding really starts to show. Your total dividends collected reach $706,754 against a total investment of $25,600. At this point, your portfolio is throwing off $677,124 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 $87,606,981, a powerful “income on autopilot” milestone.

After two decades, cumulative dividends total $5,951,236,750 versus $34,000 invested, nearly a 17,503,637% recovery of capital purely from income. Yield on cost reaches 60,983,817.44%.

At year 25, the income engine takes over. The portfolio’s annual dividend of $17,393,406,958,381,756 is greater than total contributions to date ($40,000), and cumulative dividends exceed $2,096,850,280,153,126.

By year 30, the DRIP snowball is in full force. Yearly income reaches $12,875,397,864,020,026,679,361,536, cumulative dividends total $662,544,934,752,291,800,481,792, and the DRIP portfolio value stands at $649,417,528,093,952,427,687,936, compared with $1,006,805 if dividends weren’t reinvested.

How we estimate these numbers

We use the latest calculator inputs for WPP, price $24.04, dividend per period $1.54 (2×/year), along with historic growth assumptions: price growth -13.48% and dividend growth 2.36% 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.
