Stocks: How Much Does Passive Income Cost?

When it comes to stocks, in order to receive a dividend, you must invest into a given company's stock (assuming that company pays dividends).

I was curious to see how much 10 or 100 shares from various companies would cost to buy, and how much dividends one would receive, from those 10 or 100 shares.

I extracted content from a spreadsheet I've been building and using to track various stock elements, and ported the content into a new spreadsheet, in order to feed my dividend return curiosity, and came up with the information below.

I hope this is helpful in giving you an idea as to how much you may be able to invest, and how much you would in turn receive in dividends from that investment, from these few sample companies I've researched.

Of course, it wouldn't be wise to go all in with your money on any single one of these, just because they're paying the best dividend, since diversification is important.
