My YOC is currently 4.88% thus the $5,934 is based on a portfolio with a cost basis of $121,598. The calculation is not linear since dividends, thus yield on cost, should grow each year. Unfortunately, this has not been the case the last couple of years due to many dividend cuts and freezes. My current model says that in 2027, my dividend income will be $78,952 on a portfolio with a cost of $859,427 (YOC of 9.19%). I am not ready to concede my $110k goal yet, but I will have to wait on the market to stabilize some so that I can develop better projections. My $30,000 in 2017 is still on target. Best Wishes.

I assume that in order to have made $5636 in dividends in 2008--you are working with about 100K presently?
