About SCHD
The Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) tracks the Dow Jones US Dividend 100, a screened basket of quality dividend payers. It launched in 2011, so you can look at returns across anything from a few weeks to its full history.
Heads up: SCHD is built for income, and this calculator measures price change only. Its distributions are a big part of its total return, so treat these numbers as the low end of what a holder actually earned.
How to use it
- Enter an amount: e.g., $10,000
- Pick a start date: when you would've bought SCHD
- Pick an end date: when you'd sell, or leave it as today
- Hit "Calculate": see shares bought, final value, gain or loss, and return %

Frequently asked questions
Is this SCHD calculator based on real price data? +
Yes. It uses historical SCHD closing prices, adjusted for share splits, for the dates you pick. If a date falls on a weekend or holiday, the nearest trading day's price is used.
Does it include dividends? +
No, and for SCHD that matters. Results show price change only. SCHD is an income-focused fund, so a meaningful part of its total return comes from distributions that aren't counted here. Use the stock dividend calculator to estimate that income separately.
How far back can I calculate SCHD returns? +
SCHD launched in 2011, so you can pick any start date from then on.
Are past returns a prediction? +
No. This tool shows historical performance for educational purposes only. It isn't financial advice.
