How to Calculate Organic Dividend Growth of Your Portfolio

Sneezing and dg investing has asked us how do you calculate organic dividend growth of your portfolio. I looked at my holdings let's say 31 December 2022 and then I will look at those holdings only and the dividend that it was generating. Based on that I know if my dividend has been organically growing so everything that is new bought I ignore in this calculation. We also talked about a 40% payout ratio based on earnings versus a variable dividend dependent on anoy.
