About the Cost of Equity Calculator (Dividend Growth Model)

The dividend growth model (also called the Gordon growth model) estimates a company's cost of equity from the perspective of a dividend-paying stock — the return shareholders require given the dividend yield plus expected growth.

Formula: Cost of Equity = (Next Year's Dividend ÷ Current Share Price) + Dividend Growth Rate

This approach works best for mature, stable dividend payers with a predictable growth pattern. For companies that pay little or no dividend, CAPM is typically used instead to estimate cost of equity.
