Why Track Dividends Inside a Portfolio Tracker?
Standalone dividend trackers show your income in isolation. You see €500 in dividends this quarter — but is that good? What's your yield on cost? How does dividend income contribute to your total return? Is your dividend strategy actually beating a simple index fund?
These are questions a dividend-only tool can't answer. You need context: your real portfolio performance (measured by time-weighted return), a benchmark comparison to see if you're ahead of the market, and an allocation view to check whether your income sources are diversified.
TrackinV embeds dividend tracking inside full portfolio analytics. Instead of switching between a dividend app and a portfolio tracker, you see everything in one place: income received, total return, benchmark performance, and sector allocation.
This approach works for different types of dividend investors:
- FIRE investors building passive income streams who also need to track whether they're on pace to reach their target portfolio value
- Retirement-focused investors monitoring income growth while keeping an eye on total portfolio health
- Dividend growth investors (DGI) who care about both rising income and total return — because a stock that raises its dividend but drops 20% in price isn't a win
- Multi-broker investors with dividends scattered across accounts at DEGIRO, Interactive Brokers, Trade Republic, or other brokers

How Dividend Tracking Works in TrackinV
From CSV upload to full dividend analytics in under two minutes. No manual entry required.
Import your transactions
Export a CSV from your broker — DEGIRO, Interactive Brokers, Trade Republic, or any other supported broker — and upload it to TrackinV. The import takes under two minutes and requires no manual data entry.
Automatic dividend detection
TrackinV identifies dividend payments in your transaction history, matches them to the correct holdings, and calculates yield automatically. No need to tag or categorise transactions yourself — dividends are recognised from your broker's CSV format.
View your dividend dashboard
See all dividend income across all your brokers in one view: total received, income per holding, and income per period (monthly, quarterly, yearly). Filter by date range to see exactly how your passive income has grown.
Analyse dividends in context
This is where TrackinV differs from standalone dividend trackers. View your dividend income alongside your portfolio's time-weighted return, benchmark performance, and allocation breakdown. Understand how dividend income contributes to your total return — not just what you received, but whether your strategy is working.
What You Get: Dividend Analytics Features
Once your transactions are imported, TrackinV gives you dividend insights that go beyond income tracking.
Dividend income overview
See your total dividends received per month, quarter, or year, broken down by individual holding. Identify which positions contribute most to your income stream and how your dividend income has evolved over time. All amounts are converted to your base currency for a clear, consolidated view.
Dividends in your performance calculation
TrackinV includes dividends in time-weighted return (TWR) and total return calculations. Your performance numbers reflect the complete picture — capital gains plus dividend income. This matters: a stock that returned 5% in price but paid 3% in dividends had an 8% total return, and TrackinV shows that.
Multi-broker dividend consolidation
If you hold dividend-paying stocks at DEGIRO, ETFs at Interactive Brokers, and bonds at another broker, TrackinV consolidates all dividend income into one unified view. No more checking each broker app separately to understand your total passive income.
Dividend yield tracking
See dividend yield per holding and for your total portfolio. Track how yield evolves over time as prices and dividends change. Compare your portfolio's yield to benchmark indices to understand whether you're achieving above-average income generation.
Portfolio allocation with income lens
Understand how your dividend-paying holdings fit into your overall allocation. See sector and geographic distribution of your income sources. Spot concentration risks — if 60% of your dividend income comes from one sector, you'll know.

Who Is TrackinV's Dividend Tracker For?
Dividend investors who want the full picture
You track dividend income, but you also want to know your total return — capital gains plus dividends — measured accurately with time-weighted return methodology.
FIRE and retirement investors
Building a passive income stream is half the equation. You also need to know if your portfolio is growing fast enough to reach your target number. TrackinV shows both.
Multi-broker investors
Dividends from DEGIRO, Interactive Brokers, Trade Republic, and other brokers — all consolidated into one view. Stop checking multiple apps to understand your total income.
ETF investors receiving distributions
ETF distributions are dividends too. TrackinV tracks them alongside your fund performance so you understand how distributions contribute to your total return.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does TrackinV detect dividends?
Dividends are extracted from your broker's CSV export. Most major brokers — DEGIRO, Interactive Brokers, Trade Republic — include dividend transactions in their export files. TrackinV automatically identifies these transactions and categorises them as dividend income, matching each payment to the correct holding in your portfolio.
Can I track reinvested dividends (DRIP)?
Yes. If your broker reinvests dividends automatically, both the dividend income and the resulting purchase appear in your transaction history. TrackinV tracks the dividend as income received and the reinvestment as a new buy transaction, so your total return calculation remains accurate.
Does TrackinV track dividend withholding tax?
TrackinV tracks net dividend income as reported in your broker's transaction history. If your broker includes withholding tax as a separate line item in the CSV export (as DEGIRO does), TrackinV imports that data. The level of tax detail depends on what your broker provides in its export.
Which brokers support dividend import?
Any broker whose CSV export includes dividend transactions works with TrackinV. This includes DEGIRO, Interactive Brokers, Trade Republic, Saxo, and many others. If your broker exports dividend payments as part of the transaction history, TrackinV will detect and track them automatically.
Can I see dividends per holding?
Yes. TrackinV breaks down dividend income by individual holding, so you can see exactly how much each position has paid you. You can also view income by time period — monthly, quarterly, or yearly — to track how your passive income grows over time.
Does TrackinV have dividend projections?
No. TrackinV focuses on tracking actual received dividends and showing how they contribute to your portfolio's total return. We don't project future dividend payments or provide payout ratio analysis — for that, a specialist dividend tool may be a better fit alongside TrackinV.
Is dividend tracking free?
Dividend tracking is included in TrackinV's free tier with unlimited holdings — no credit card required. You get full access to dividend income overview, yield calculations, and performance analytics. Premium adds multiple portfolios for investors with accounts at several brokers.
