Get Rid of Those Goofy Dividend Spreadsheets

“I don’t have to make and update my goofy spreadsheets anymore!” my man Peter B. from New Hampshire writes.

Tell ‘em, Peter!

We are devoted to retiring on dividends here at Contrarian Outlook. But a little bit of work in retirement is OK. As income investors, we should be able to forecast our income.

Note that I said a little bit of work. Not a lot! I am not interested in fiddling with spreadsheets until the end of time, and neither is my man Peter.

If you’re with us, why not hop aboard the Income Calendar train with Peter and me? I have no doubt that Peter knows his upcoming May income haul. If not off the top of the head, it’s one click away.

IC shows us how each dividend fits within the context of our overall income for the next 12 months:

12 Months of Projected Dividends via Income Calendar

How are we looking for May? We have $4,610.84 in dividends likely to drop into our brokerage account. This is the type of revenue projection that a savvy income investor knows.

May 2025 Dividend Projection: $4,610.84

We have plenty of potential payouts heading our way in this dividend portfolio.

All of the details are broken down in our summary for the upcoming month:

Biz owner type knowledge, right here.

IC even supports custom income events, such as social security or pay from actual labor. We can add our active wages with our passive dividends in one single tool.

And thanks to a new integration, it’s never been easier to update our dividend tickers in Income Calendar. The tool can import stocks and funds from any premium Contrarian Outlook service. It can even sync up with your brokerage account too!

Dividend projections require a combination of technology and craftmanship. We know what these stocks have paid and we estimate our future payments to the penny.

So long, goofy spreadsheets! We’re doing the heavy dividend lifting for you with Income Calendar.

Plus it’s easy to set up. It will take you five or ten minutes just once and you’re good to go. Then, barely a minute or so when you buy or sell something. (If you buy or sell—again, we’re not judging, we’re just tracking and projecting income here.)

And here’s a hookup that is even easier thanks to a recent major upgrade we made to IC. We’ve integrated it with Plaid, a service that safely and securely links up to your brokerage account and imports all your tickers and shares—so you don’t have to do any inputting at all.

When our lead developer asked me to test out the new integration, I was blown away with how easy it was. I had my Charles Schwab account connected to Income Calendar with just a few clicks. It was really easy to import the tickers and share counts of my current holdings into IC.

I could go on and on but honestly this tool is soooooo easy to use. I set up the Contrarian Outlook Portfolio in a few minutes and my Schwab holdings in a few minutes more. You’ll have this tool humming in no time, too.

I’m so excited for you to profit from it that I pleaded with my publisher to let you enjoy Income Calendar on a 100% risk-free basis.

Act today and we’ll hook you up with a full 60-day test drive of Income Calendar with no obligation whatsoever.
