Dividing the stock's annual dividend amount by its current share price allows you to calculate a stock's dividend yield. For example, if a stock is trading at $50 per share, and the company pays a quarterly dividend of 20 cents per share. That company's dividend would be 80 cents.

If your goal is to earn $500 a month, or $6,000 per year, you'd need at least $200,000 of dividend-paying investments.

Do you pay taxes on dividends? ›

Yes – the IRS considers dividends to be income, so you usually need to pay taxes on them. Even if you reinvest all of your dividends directly back into the same company or fund that paid you the dividends, you will pay taxes as they technically still passed through your hands.

Qualified dividends are taxed at 0%, 15%, or 20%, depending on your income level and tax filing status. Ordinary (nonqualified) dividends and taxable distributions are taxed at your marginal income tax rate, which is determined by your taxable earnings.

You'll need to build your portfolio up to at least $1 million to make $100,000 each year through dividend investing. Conservative options trading will give you more capital to invest into more dividend stocks and get you closer to the 6-figure goal.

You should consider buying dividend-paying stocks whenever you start investing to reap their long-term benefits. Dividend stocks, especially those in companies that consistently increase their dividends, have historically outperformed the market with less volatility.

We believe a dividend investor should own at least 20 stocks. However, we recommend diversifying to ETFs and mutual funds as well. Don't try to be smart when you are saving for your retirement.
