Cost of Equity Calculator

The cost of equity is the return shareholders need before they will hold the shares, and there is no single correct way to measure it. This runs three of them: CAPM from a risk-free rate, beta and a market risk premium; the dividend growth model from the price, the dividend and the growth you expect; and the company's own bond yield plus an equity premium. The cross-check action runs all three at once and reports the spread, along with what each rate says the share is worth. Every figure is one you enter, so no rate, beta or premium embedded in the page can go stale and quietly decide the answer.
