One annual amount, two different views
Suppose a hypothetical holding pays USD 1,200 after tax over a year. Its monthly average is USD 100. That does not mean USD 100 arrives every month. Four quarterly payments of USD 300 would produce the same annual total, with no payments in the other eight months.
The calculator divides estimated annual net dividends by twelve for the goal and portfolio summaries. It does not invent twelve payment dates from that average. This distinction matters if you want dividends to cover a monthly bill.
Use individual payments in the calendar
Open a holding and add a payment date, the gross distribution per share for that particular payment, and a schedule basis. The calendar multiplies that amount by your share count and applies that holding tax assumption. A holding with 100 shares and a USD 0.50 payment per share produces USD 50 gross for that event.
With an illustrative 15.4% rate and a 100% taxable portion, its estimated net payment is USD 42.30. If the annual distribution per share is USD 2, do not enter USD 2 for each quarterly payment: doing so would count the annual amount repeatedly.
Annual assumptions and dates stay independent
Holdings without payment dates still count toward annual and monthly-average totals. Entered dates may cover only part of a year or several years, so their sum is not forced to match the annual assumption. Dates include a year and do not repeat automatically.
Use the list view to check each event, or select a day in the calendar. A scheduled payment is an estimate, not confirmation that you qualify for it. Check the relevant eligibility dates and brokerage records separately. A US payment date may also differ from the date credited to a Korean account.
