It has never been easier to generate passive income from the stock market. There are dozens of commercial applications today, many of them offer a wide range of investment options. Better yet, some do not charge actions negotiation.
So how much passive income an investor could expect to generate from a portfolio? Let's find out.
A £ 10K portfolio
The first thing that indicates is that an update account and Shares of ISA protects the dividends received from income tax. While the annual limit is £ 20,000, even investing half of that amount is sufficient to generate considerable passive income, as we will see.
Keep in mind that tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to changes in the future.

The average dividend yield of Ftse 100 The shares at this time are around 3.5%. This means that an investor could invest £ 10,000 in an index tracker that has the 100 shares and expect to achieve an annual dividends income of £ 350.
An alternative route would be to build a portfolio as individual shares. This approach entails greater potential risk, since individual companies face unique challenges that require consideration, and their dividends are not guaranteed.
However, the risk could be worth the potential of higher income. In other words, it is possible to obtain a much higher rate of passive income investing in individual dividend shares that offer much higher yields.
An action to consider
I currently have four ultra height ftse shares of 100 in my income portfolio. The following table lists its forecast dividends yields by 2025.
| Backward performance | |
|---|---|
| Legal and general | 9.3% |
| American British tobacco | 7.8% |
| Aviva | 7.3% |
| HSBC | 6.3% |
The average yield here is 7.7%, which means that an investor that places £ 2,500 in each action should receive £ 770 per year in dividends. That is more than double the FTSE 100 average!
Of course, I am simplifying things, since dividend payments rarely remain the same every year. Ideally, they should increase, but that's not safe. Aviva, for example, reduced his payment in 2019 (although he has paid a rising dividend every year since then).
Global Bank HSBC and Legal & General and Aviva insurers are financial actions. Therefore, the other can excel as a painful thumb. Why am I owner of the tobacco stock? Well, when I first invested in March, the action was yielding above 10% on a prospective basis. That was too tempting, despite the genuine risk of falling into cigarette sales.
Since then, the price of the action has increased by 33%, reducing the performance in the process. However, I think the action still offers me a solid value, quoting a low -price multiple at a profits of around 7.9.
The American British tobacco is the second largest tobacco company in the world by volume, which operates in more than 180 countries. It has cigarettes tags Fortunate strike and Camelas well as next -generation brands such as Vusta (electronic cigarettes), Glo (heated tobacco) and Veil (nicotine bags). I do not hope that these nicotine products disappear worldwide for some time.
In fact, the Trump administration recently withdrew a plan to ban mentioned cigarettes in the United States. The company owns NewportThe leading menthol brand in the United States. Meanwhile, it is Veil-The products of the marked nicotine bag are growing strongly.
Regular investment
To generate considerable passive income, it will take time. However, if someone invested £ 500 per month in addition to a sum of £ 10k, and reinvirt dividends along the way, it would end with £ 319,077 after 20 years.
That portfolio would generate £ 24,568 in dividends every year, assuming the same yield of 7.7%.
