About SCHDCalc.com

Your Trusted Resource for SCHD Dividend Investment Planning

Our Mission

At SCHDCalc.com, we’re dedicated to empowering dividend investors with precise, user-friendly tools to maximize your investment potential through the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD). We believe that by providing accurate, research-based calculators and educational resources, we can help investors make more informed decisions about your dividend investment strategy.

Founded in 2023 by a team of dividend growth enthusiasts and financial technology specialists, SCHDCalc.com was created to address the lack of specialized tools for SCHD investors. We recognized that while SCHD has become one of the most popular dividend ETFs in the market, there weren’t enough dedicated resources to help investors fully understand its potential.

Accuracy

We’re committed to providing calculations based on accurate historical data and sound financial principles, allowing you to make informed decisions.

Privacy

Your financial data never leaves your browser. We prioritize your privacy and security with client-side processing and zero data collection.

Reliability

Our calculators use research-based default values derived from SCHD’s actual historical performance for realistic projections.

Accessibility

We design our tools to be easily accessible across all devices, ensuring you can plan your investments anytime, anywhere.

What Sets Us Apart

Unlike general investment calculators, SCHDCalc.com focuses exclusively on SCHD—providing specialized tools that account for the ETF’s unique characteristics, including its historical dividend growth rate, share price appreciation, and dividend payment schedule. Our calculators incorporate these factors to deliver more accurate projections specifically tailored to SCHD investors.

Research-Backed

All default values in our calculators are based on SCHD’s actual historical performance data, not arbitrary assumptions.

Comprehensive Suite

Beyond basic dividend calculations, we offer specialized tools for yield on cost, inflation impact, tax implications, and retirement planning.

Educational Focus

We complement our calculators with educational content to help investors better understand SCHD and dividend investing principles.

Independent Analysis

We’re not affiliated with Charles Schwab or any financial institution, ensuring unbiased information and tools.

Our Commitment to You

While our calculators provide powerful projections based on historical data, we recognize that past performance doesn’t guarantee future results. That’s why we’re committed to:

  • Transparency: We clearly communicate the assumptions and limitations behind our calculations.
  • Education: We provide context and educational resources to help you interpret results effectively.
  • Continuous Improvement: We regularly update our tools with the latest SCHD data and enhance functionality based on user feedback.
  • User Privacy: We respect your financial privacy by ensuring calculations are performed locally in your browser without storing your data.

Important Note

SCHDCalc.com provides educational and informational tools. We are not financial advisors, and our calculators should not be considered financial advice. Always consult with a qualified financial professional before making investment decisions.
