ITC Dividend History — backtest with DRIP

Flat 12% calculators hide the ride

A flat-rate shows ₹5,000/month at 12% for 10 years in a straight line. The real Nifty 50 delivered roughly that, but through two 30–50% crashes and years of flat returns. A flat rate tells you nothing about your worst paper loss.

Real exchange prices, not NAV proxies

Every instalment is bought at the actual closing price on your chosen SIP date — or the next trading day if the market was shut. Works for any NSE/BSE stock, not just ETFs: RELIANCE, INFY, HDFCBANK, TCS.

DRIP: the compounding most tools ignore

NiftyBees, BankBees and GoldBees pay dividends that most calculators drop entirely. Turning DRIP on reinvests each payout at that day's price — over 10–15 years it adds a visible slice to your XIRR, especially on BANKBEES.

Live through 2008 and 2020 on paper

The 2008 crisis took the Nifty 50 down over 50%; COVID took 38% off in under two months. Set 10 or 15 years and the journey chart shows exactly what a disciplined SIP bought at those lows — and what it did to final XIRR.

XIRR vs CAGR — why CAGR overstates or understates SIP returns

If the Nifty 50 compounded at 13% CAGR over 10 years, your 10-year SIP XIRR is not 13%. Your first instalment got 10 years of compounding; your last instalment got zero. The average effective holding period is roughly half the SIP duration. XIRR correctly weights each cash flow by its actual period and gives you the real annualised return on all the money you put in. This is why this calculator always reports XIRR, never CAGR.

How dividend reinvestment (DRIP) silently compounds your XIRR

NSE ETFs like NiftyBees, BankBees and GoldBees pay periodic dividends. Most calculators and even many brokers ignore these entirely. This calculator tracks every dividend payout from Yahoo Finance and, with DRIP enabled, buys additional units at that day's closing price. Over 10–15 years, DRIP can add 0.5–1.5 percentage points per year to your XIRR, depending on the ETF's payout history.
