This article explains how to use the Forecast Income card to anticipate your future dividend earnings. This dynamic tool helps you visualize your estimated income based on historical data and company trends, allowing you to plan ahead.

Locating Your Forecast Income Card

You'll find the Forecast Income card on your Portfolio section under the Dividend Income tab; a section dedicated to your dividend investment earnings.

What the Forecast Income Card Shows You

The Forecast Income card provides a clear, at-a-glance view of your estimated future dividend earnings.

  • Prominent Value: The card displays a single, prominent value that represents the total sum of all Forecast Dividends Income for the date range you've selected.

  • Dynamic Date Range: The card clearly shows the date range used for its calculation. This date range is directly tied to the Estimated Income Date Range Selector on the page.

How the Forecast Income is Calculated

The value displayed is a simple sum of all estimated dividends within your chosen date range. It's important to note that the card's value will dynamically update every time you change your selection in the Estimated Income Date Range Selector.

Default View: When you first load the page, the selector defaults to "6M" (6 Months). As a result, the card will initially display your total forecast income for the next six months (the current month plus the next five months).

Visual Indicators

The card uses a consistent color scheme to match other cards on your dashboard:

  • Green Border: The card's border will be green if the Forecast Income is greater than zero.

  • Grey Border: The border will be grey if the estimated income for the selected period is zero, in which case the value will display as "$0.00".

Because this card represents a positive income, a negative value is not possible.

Important to Note

Total Estimated Income" and "Forecast Income" are built on historical data and current portfolio holdings. These are estimations, not guarantees. Dividend payments are subject to change, suspension, or elimination by the issuing company at any time, and can be influenced by various market, economic, and company-specific factors. Refer to our Terms of Service for more details.
