CALCULATORS
Investment calculators
Four calculators for monthly saving, dividends, compound growth and the P/E ratio. Every input is an assumption you set, and the result is the arithmetic on it.
Monthly saving calculator
What a fixed monthly amount grows to after a number of years at an assumed return.
Dividend calculator
Annual dividend income from the amount invested and the dividend yield. After tax uses the Korean dividend income tax of 15.4%.
Compound growth calculator
The future value of an amount compounded at an annual return.
P/E calculator
How many times earnings per share (EPS) the share price is.
The return, dividend yield and growth rate you enter are all assumptions you choose. Actual returns change from year to year, and a company can cut or stop its dividend, so each result is only the arithmetic of the assumption held to the end and says nothing about future returns. This is a simple simulation on the assumed return you enter. It does not promise or forecast any actual return. A P/E multiple means something only next to other companies in the same industry. Which yardstick fits which kind of company is in choosing a valuation metric, and how long to hold a stock to receive a dividend and why the price drops on the ex-dividend date is in what going ex-dividend means. What each metric measures and where typical values sit in the Korean market today are on one page in Investment metrics at a glance. For information only. Not investment advice.
