Dividend forecasting: how far ahead, and how sure

Every tracker here lists upcoming payouts. The difference is whether it projects each future payment on its own date, how far ahead it goes, whether it says how confident it is, and whether the method is published.

Dividend Watch

Yes — 12-month view of upcoming payments, announced or predicted (Premium and Pro). No multi-year forecast or per-payment confidence rating.

Simply Safe Dividends

Partly — Income calendar and forecast of expected dividends; horizon and confidence rating not stated.

Dividend Wealth

Yes — Each future payment is projected individually with a date, an amount, a growth assumption and a High, Medium or Low confidence tier, out to 10 years in the what-if projections. Built from each holding's own payment history, with the method published.
