Dividend Tracking
Andy Einserkandidat
- Problem Statement
Active investors using Delta can already track positions and P/L in real‑time, but they lack a single, coherent view of dividend income (past and future). Users must currently resort to spreadsheets or other apps to:
know how much cash actually hit their brokerage account vs. how much was declared
see dividend yield in their base currency, net of withholding tax
forecast expected portfolio income for budgeting purposes
- Subfeatures & Deep Details
Smart Suggestions
When user enters symbol & date, the app queries server for declared amount and prefills fields.
Confidence score shown; low score triggers caution badge.
Tax Engine
Global presets (US 30%, CA 25%…) plus “Custom”.
Supports tiered rates (e.g., first €801 tax‑free in Germany).
Option to mark reclaimed withholding, updating net figures retroactively.
DRIP Handling
On payment date, system creates a fractional buy transaction at market close price or broker‑reported reinvest price.
Re‑calculates cost basis and average price.
Multi‑Currency Logic
Dividend declared in pay‑currency → converted to portfolio base using FX rate at payment date (from existing FX service).
User toggle for “lock conversion” vs. “floating” when historical FX rates are updated.
