About MMM
3M is a diversified industrial manufacturer with safety, industrial, transportation, electronics and consumer products. It spun off its healthcare business as Solventum in 2024 and reduced its dividend at that time, ending a decades-long streak of increases, after large legal settlements over PFAS and earplugs. It pays quarterly.

How this calculator works
Shares bought is investment ÷ price. The dividend per share per payment is
price × yield ÷ 100 ÷ payments per year (4 for MMM). For every payment the
calculator pays shares × dividend per share; with DRIP on it buys
payment ÷ current price more shares, and any annual contribution is split evenly across
the year's payments and also buys shares. The growth assumptions are converted to a per-payment rate so
that they compound to the annual figure you enter. Break-even is the first month at which the
dividends received so far reach 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the capital contributed to that point,
simulated out to 50 years. Yield on cost is the year's dividends divided by total capital contributed.
FAQ
- How much does MMM pay per share?
- As of 15 September 2026 the reference figures from StockAnalysis were a 1.9% trailing-twelve-month yield at a share price of $164.67, which works out to about $3.13 per share a year, paid quarterly (roughly $0.78 per quarter). The board sets each dividend, so check the issuer's latest declaration before relying on it.
- How many MMM shares would it take to earn $1,000 a month?
- At the reference yield of 1.9% you would need about 3,835 shares, roughly $631,579 at $164.67 a share, to receive $12,000 a year. Set the initial investment to that amount in the calculator to see the projection. A higher yield needs fewer shares; a lower yield needs more.
- What does the DRIP toggle change?
- With DRIP on, each dividend buys more MMM shares at the then-current price, so the next payment is slightly larger; the projection compounds 4 times a year. With DRIP off the dividends are counted as cash income and the share count only changes through your annual contributions.
- Is the MMM yield in the calculator the forward or trailing yield?
- The prefilled figure is the trailing-twelve-month yield reported by StockAnalysis: the last twelve months of dividends divided by the price on 15 September 2026. If 3M Company has announced a dividend change since then, the forward yield will differ; replace the yield with (latest quarterly dividend × 4) ÷ price to use the forward figure.
