PG Dividend Calculator
The Procter & Gamble Company distributes every quarter. The field below opens with PG's own recorded trailing payout of $4.2906 per share, as of 2026-08-18.
Enter the share price you are paying to see the projection. We publish no price data, so this is the one figure the page cannot fill in for you.
Payout figures read from SEC EDGAR on Aug 18, 2026. You supply the share price. The PG record page holds every payment behind these figures.
What the PG Calculator Loads, and the Arithmetic Behind It
The 4 PG payments with ex-dates between October 24, 2025 and August 18, 2026 add up to $4.2906 per share once split adjustment is applied. Worked on a round position, 1,000 shares collected 1,000 × $4.2906 = $4,290.60 across that window, which is $357.55 a month if you flatten it and $1,072.65 per payment on the 4-payment cadence. The calculator performs the same multiplication against whatever share count your investment and share price produce.
Those 4 payments span 298 days rather than a full 365, because our PG record opens on July 19, 2024. The sum is a complete cadence year, meaning the full number of payments PG's schedule implies, rather than a complete calendar one. Read it as slightly conservative for a full year, and re-check it once the record deepens.
Year one of the model is that same multiplication; each later year multiplies $4.2906 by one plus the growth rate you type. The methodology page states the rest.
What PG's quarterly Cadence Does to the Model
PG distributes every quarter, which is 4 payments a year. The projection above steps once a year, so a twenty-year run performs 20 reinvestments where PG would have offered 80. Every payment between the annual steps is treated as though it arrived on the last day of the year. Observed gaps between PG ex-dates ran 91 to 91 days, median 91.
Reinvesting each of those 4 payments as it landed, rather than once at the end of the year, earns more than the annual step shows, because earlier shares collect later payments. Holding the share price flat so timing is the only moving part, and computed from PG's own payment weights, a 4% distribution rate gives 1.51% more first-year income, and a 20% distribution rate gives 7.75% more first-year income. The effect scales with the rate you are modelling, which is why it matters more for a high-distribution fund than for a slow grower, and it stays small next to the variability in the payout itself.
One term decides how far the annual step falls short, and for PG it is 37.5%: a measure of how evenly the window's cash is split across its payments. A single lump scores zero, four equal payments 37.5%, twelve 45.8%, and fifty-two 49.0%. PG sits below the even end, because its cash is concentrated into fewer or more unequal payments, and the annual step distorts less there than it would for a smooth stream.
Where PG's Cash Actually Landed
The 10 complete calendar months ending Jul 2026, from PG's recorded ex-dates, split-adjusted, as of 2026-08-18. Income is what 1,000 shares would have collected. A projection divides one annual figure by twelve; the record did this instead.
| Month | Payments | Per Share | On 1,000 Shares | Share of Window |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 2025 | 1 | $1.0568 | $1,056.80 | 24.6% |
| Nov 2025 | 0 | $0.0000 | $0.00 | 0.0% |
| Dec 2025 | 0 | $0.0000 | $0.00 | 0.0% |
| Jan 2026 | 1 | $1.0568 | $1,056.80 | 24.6% |
| Feb 2026 | 0 | $0.0000 | $0.00 | 0.0% |
| Mar 2026 | 0 | $0.0000 | $0.00 | 0.0% |
| Apr 2026 | 1 | $1.0885 | $1,088.50 | 25.4% |
| May 2026 | 0 | $0.0000 | $0.00 | 0.0% |
| Jun 2026 | 0 | $0.0000 | $0.00 | 0.0% |
| Jul 2026 | 1 | $1.0885 | $1,088.50 | 25.4% |
| 10 months | 4 | $4.2906 | $4,290.60 | 100.0% |
Apr 2026 was the largest month at $1.0885 per share, carrying 25.4% of the 10-month total on its own. 6 of the 10 months paid nothing at all, which is what a quarterly or occasional schedule looks like once a monthly income plan is laid over it.
Shares and Capital for a Monthly Income Target from PG
Share counts that would have produced each monthly target at PG's recorded trailing payout of $4.2906 per share, as of 2026-08-18. This is division on a recorded figure, not advice, and the payout can move. We hold no price for PG and publish none, so there is no capital column. Multiply the share count by the price you can actually buy at.
| Monthly Target | A Year | PG Shares | Average per Payment |
|---|---|---|---|
| $200 | $2,400 | 560 | $600.68 |
| $750 | $9,000 | 2,098 | $2,250.42 |
| $2,000 | $24,000 | 5,594 | $6,000.40 |
| $5,000 | $60,000 | 13,985 | $15,001.01 |
Read the monthly column as an average rather than a schedule. On the record above, 6 of the last 10 months delivered nothing, so a holder of 5,594 shares aiming at $2,000 a month received it in 4 lumps instead. The record-side arithmetic, at different target levels, is on the PG record page.
The Growth Input for PG
PG has a realised rate you can use instead of a guess: 4.0% a year, measured as trailing twelve months against the twelve months before it, split-adjusted. A realised rate is still an assumption about the future once you type it into a projection, but it is an assumption with a measurement behind it, which an invented 8% is not.
Per share, with no price assumption anywhere in it, this is what that rate does to PG's payout against holding it flat. The cumulative column sums the payout from year one through the year shown.
| Year | Flat at $4.2906 | At 4.0% | Cumulative at 4.0% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | $4.2906 | $4.2906 | $4.29 |
| Year 5 | $4.2906 | $5.0144 | $23.23 |
| Year 10 | $4.2906 | $6.0932 | $51.45 |
| Year 20 | $4.2906 | $8.9972 | $127.42 |
By year twenty the difference between 4.0% and zero is $4.7066 per share, which is 110% of the flat figure. That is the sensitivity of an entire projection to one field. Run it at the realised rate, run it again at zero, and treat the gap between the two answers as the honest result.
What Makes PG Hard to Model
Each item is triggered by something computed from PG's own record and carries the figure that triggered it.
6 of the last 10 months paid PG holders nothing. The monthly income figure a projection implies is an annual total divided by twelve. On the record, PG's cash arrived in 4 of 10 calendar months, with Apr 2026 the largest at $1.0885 per share. Anyone planning to spend the income needs the payment months, not the average, and the months are in the table above.
Starting a PG Projection Today
A projection books a full year of income in year one. Today is August 21, 2026, 233 days into 2026. PG has already gone ex-dividend 3 times in 2026, for $3.2338 per share, and buying now collects none of it. On the observed cadence, about 1 more payment would fall before 31 December, which is 25% of a normal year for PG. That is a read of the record rather than a schedule PG has published.
Nothing further is declared for PG on our record, so every payment inside the projection is a modelled one. Based on the 91-day gap the record shows, the next ex-date would ordinarily land between Oct 13, 2026 and Nov 2, 2026, which is a pattern rather than an announcement. Read year one as twelve months from your purchase date, not the rest of this calendar year.
Frequently Asked Questions
What annual dividend figure should I use for PG?
$4.2906 per share, the sum of the 4 split-adjusted PG payments with ex-dates between October 24, 2025 and August 18, 2026, read from SEC EDGAR: The Procter & Gamble Company 8-K filings (dividend declarations parsed from press-release exhibits; each row carries its filing's accession number) on 2026-08-18. It is already in the field. It records what was paid; it is not a rate the payer has committed to.
What growth rate should I put in the PG calculator?
The rate PG's own record realised is 4.0% a year, measured as trailing twelve months against the twelve months before it, split-adjusted. Using a realised rate beats inventing one, though it is still an assumption about the future rather than a property of it. Run the projection at that rate and again at zero, and read the gap as the answer.
How many PG shares would pay $5,000 a month?
About 13,985 shares at the trailing payout of $4.2906 per share, which is $60,000 a year. Spread over 4 payments a year that averages $15,001.01 a payment, and the payments are not equal. What that costs depends on the price you pay, which we do not publish.
Are taxes included in the PG projection?
No. Every figure the calculator produces is pre-tax and ignores trading costs. The Procter & Gamble Company is an operating company, so the tax character of its payments turns on holding periods and on the account you hold it in.
Why does the PG calculator ask me for the share price?
Because we publish no prices. Every figure here carries the date its source was read, and a live quote cannot. SEC EDGAR: The Procter & Gamble Company 8-K filings (dividend declarations parsed from press-release exhibits; each row carries its filing's accession number) publishes no distribution rate for PG that we could turn into an implied price by arithmetic, so the price field starts empty.
Every payment, split adjustment, and calendar-year total behind these figures is on the PG dividend history page. Other quarterly payers in coverage are on the coverage table. The general-purpose tools sit on the calculator hub, and the model is written out on the methodology page.
