If you are a serious dividend investor, then you know the answer to this question:

How much dividend income are you going to make next month?

If you don’t know, then you’re not as dedicated to dividends as you thought. Disappointing, but fixable with Income Calendar.

And please, don’t tell me I’m being hard on you. If that’s the way you feel, then this is the tough love that you need. Your wakeup call for fall.

It’s time to treat your dividend investing like a business. Because it is.

And hey, I get it. We’re rolling towards 2025. Nobody wants to mess with tedious spreadsheets like these anymore.

C’mon man. We have enough going on. Life is too short to spend it updating spreadsheets!

The serious and easy solution is Income Calendar, a tool we developed in-house to track dividends and project future payments. IC is like having a personal assistant, but better and more reliable. And much cheaper.

IC knows what each stock (and fund) actually paid in recent dividends. In fact, the tool sends me an email alert every time one of our portfolio positions declare a dividend:

I can also see the stock’s dividend history for the last year, five years or ten years:

And—here’s the cool part—see how each dividend fits within the context of your overall income for the next 12 months:

How are we looking for November? We have $3,169.31 in dividends likely to drop into our brokerage account. This is the type of revenue projection that a savvy business owner knows.

IC even supports custom income events, such as social security checks or paychecks 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 to import stocks, funds and share counts!

Dividend projections require a combination of technology and craftsmanship. We know what these stocks have paid. We are estimating our future payments down to the penny.

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