COP Dividend Calculator
ConocoPhillips yields 2.64%, close to the 2.92% median across US dividend payers — a rate that is unremarkable in itself, which puts the weight on how reliably it is paid rather than on how large it is. The figures below convert it into cash at a range of investment sizes.

COP with dividends reinvested
$10,000 in COP, every dividend reinvested, holding the payment and share price flat. Deliberately conservative — most calculators assume years of uninterrupted growth, and that assumption drives most of the result.

What makes up COP's 2.64% yield
COP paid $3.36 per share over the last twelve months against a share price of $127.30, which is where the 2.64% 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 0.44, roughly 44% of COP's earnings are committed to the dividend and the remaining 56% 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.
Energy dividends are funded by cash flows that move with commodity prices, so the yield on this page reflects one point in a cycle rather than a settled level. Several large producers pay a base dividend topped up by a variable component, and a trailing yield blends the two.
When COP pays, and what that changes
COP 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. COP's full schedule and payment history are on its dividend page.
Is COP's dividend covered by earnings?
COP's payout ratio of 0.44 means roughly 44% 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.
That ratio deserves a caveat specific to cyclical earnings, though: it is struck against one year's profits, and in this kind of business those profits swing with prices the company does not set. A comfortable-looking ratio at the top of a cycle and a stretched one at the bottom can describe an unchanged dividend — so the level matters less here than where in the cycle it was measured.
The figures hold the dividend flat. No multi-year record of consecutive increases is on file for COP, so treat the projection as arithmetic on today's payment rather than as an expectation about future ones.
COP dividend calculator FAQ
- How much does $10,000 in COP pay in dividends?
- At COP's current yield of 2.64%, $10,000 pays about $263.94 a year — roughly $65.99 per payment, paid quarterly, or $22.00 a month averaged out.
- What would COP be worth after 10 years with dividends reinvested?
- Reinvesting every dividend and assuming the payment and share price both stay flat, $10,000 in COP would grow to about $13,009 after 10 years, against $12,639 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 COP pay dividends?
- COP pays quarterly — 4 payments a year — based on its actual payment history rather than an assumed schedule.
- Is COP'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 COP's full payment history before relying on any of it.
