How much does $10,000 in ADP pay in dividends?

At ADP's current yield of 2.58%, $10,000 pays about $258.45 a year — roughly $64.61 per payment, paid quarterly, or $21.54 a month averaged out.

What would ADP be worth after 10 years with dividends reinvested?

Reinvesting every dividend and assuming the payment and share price both stay flat, $10,000 in ADP would grow to about $12,938 after 10 years, against $12,584 if the income were taken as cash. That deliberately assumes no dividend growth — a real holding may do better or considerably worse.

How often does ADP pay dividends?

ADP pays quarterly — 4 payments a year — based on its actual payment history rather than an assumed schedule.

Is ADP's dividend guaranteed?

No. Dividends are discretionary and can be reduced or suspended at any time, and every figure here is a projection from the current yield rather than a forecast. Check ADP's full payment history before relying on any of it.

Has ADP increased its dividend every year?

ADP has raised its dividend in each of the last 42 years on our records, which are derived from split-adjusted payment history and are approximate. The projections above deliberately ignore that growth and hold the payment flat, so a continuation of the record would put the real outcome above the figures shown.

ADP Dividend Calculator

Automatic Data Processing, Inc. yields 2.58%, close to the 2.92% median across US dividend payers, and has raised the payment in each of the last 42 years. On a record that long the yield is the less interesting half of the picture: what a holder received grew every year even in the years the yield did not move.

What makes up ADP's 2.58% yield

ADP paid $6.80 per share over the last twelve months against a share price of $263.11, which is where the 2.58% comes from. Special and one-off distributions are excluded from that figure — they do not recur, and including them would overstate every projection below.

A yield near the median tells you little on its own, so the number worth pairing it with is the payout ratio: at 0.60, roughly 60% of ADP's earnings are committed to the dividend and the remaining 40% is retained. Two companies on identical yields can sit at opposite ends of that range, and it is the difference between a payment with room to absorb a weak year and one without.

Technology dividends are usually a recent and secondary use of cash — buybacks and reinvestment normally take priority — so yields are low even where the cash generation behind them is very large. The payout ratio here is often well below the level that would constrain a raise.

When ADP pays, and what that changes

ADP pays quarterly, the standard schedule for US-listed payers, so the "per payment" column is one quarter of the annual figure and the "monthly average" column is a smoothed figure rather than a description of when cash arrives — nothing is paid in eight months of the year.

Each payment has an ex-dividend date, and it is the date that governs entitlement: shares bought on or after it do not carry that payment. ADP's full schedule and payment history are on its dividend page.

Is ADP's dividend covered by earnings?

ADP's payout ratio of 0.60 means roughly 60% of earnings go to the dividend, leaving the rest retained. A margin that size is what allows a payment to be maintained through a weaker year without being funded from borrowing.

A low ratio is the norm rather than an achievement in this part of the market: the dividend is a secondary use of cash behind reinvestment and buybacks, so most of what is retained is not being held back against a weak year — it is being spent elsewhere.

Every figure above holds ADP's dividend flat. That is a conservative assumption here: the payment has risen in each of the last 42 years, and repeating that record would put the real result above these numbers. It is stated as an assumption rather than built in because a streak describes what has happened, not what is promised.
