How to use this calculator

  1. Enter expected next annual dividend, required annual return (%), constant annual dividend growth (%).
  2. Choose a display currency, then select Calculate. Results also update after a brief pause while you edit.
  3. Read the result with the assumptions below. Export details or save a second scenario to compare your choices.

Formula and method

Value = next annual dividend / (required return − constant dividend growth).

Assumptions and limitations

Growth must be below required return. No future dividend, fair price or suitability is guaranteed.

Worked example

With expected next annual dividend = 3, required annual return (%) = 8, constant annual dividend growth (%) = 3, modeled value per share is approximately 60.

What the result means

The Gordon-growth model is extremely sensitive when growth approaches the discount rate.

Common questions

How should I interpret modeled value per share?

The Gordon-growth model is extremely sensitive when growth approaches the discount rate.
