Frequently asked questions
How much would $1,000 invested in Apple at the IPO be worth?+
Select the "since inception" row in the lump-sum table above. It is computed from live, split-adjusted prices starting with Apple's first trading day in December 1980.
Does Apple stock pay dividends?+
Yes. Apple reinstated its dividend in 2012 after a 17-year gap and has raised it every year since. The yield is small, typically under 1%, so most of Apple's return has come from share price growth.
Does this Apple calculator include dividends?+
Yes. All historical figures use AAPL's adjusted closing price, which accounts for stock splits and assumes every dividend was reinvested on the payment date. This is the standard way to measure total return.
Where does the Apple price data come from?+
Historical and live prices for the stock are fetched from a market data feed and cached for one hour, so the numbers on this page track the current market with at most a short delay. The backtest uses daily data for periods under five years and weekly data for longer periods.
