Remember with a dividend re-investment plan you fail by the month and not the year. I have crunched the fcast dividends and the expected total income for 2026 is

£9,884 meeting the fcast.

Remember no dividend is 1000% safe and some dividends could be trimmed. If the dividend is drastically changed the share will be sold and re-invested back into another higher yielder.

As a buffer, as dividends are received they will be re-invested back into the portfolio earning more income.

Hopefully some dividends will be gently increased to allow for inflation.

The target for the year is 10k.

2025 dividends to date £10,879.00
