ExplainerDividend Reinvestment: What Actually Drives the DifferenceReinvesting a 3 percent yield for 30 years turns 100 shares into 242.7 and multiplies the final position by exactly that factor: $32,434 becomes $78,726.

The trap is that it is the marginal rate, surtaxes and social levies included — leaving them out costs 0.85 points of yield.ExplainerWhat Is Dividend Yield?
