How Many BIP Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $1.82 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 3,297 BIP shares, about $130,133 at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $39.47. $1,000 a month takes about 6,594 shares, about $260,265. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (BIP) pays $0.455 a share quarterly, $1.82 a year, a 4.61% run-rate yield at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $39.47. It has paid since 2008 and raised its annual dividend 5 years in a row.
At today’s rate of $0.455 quarterly and the last close of $39.47, this is what BIP pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.455 | $0.15 | $1.82 |
| 100 shares | $45.50 | $15.17 | $182.00 |
| $10,000 invested (253.4 shares) | $115.28 | $38.43 | $461.11 |
| 3,297 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.14 | $500.05 | $6,000.54 |
| 6,594 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.27 | $1,000.09 | $12,001.08 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 BIP shares reinvest into 1.15 new shares each payment, about 4.7 new shares a year at today’s price and rate, and each new share collects the next payment too. To DRIP one whole new share every payment you need about 87 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

BIP Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- BIP yields 4.61% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $39.47.
- Its own 10-year median is 4.60%, so today’s yield is near its usual level.
Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report
How it works. Each month-end over the last 10 years gives one yield: the regular payment then, times payments a year, over that day’s close. Specials are left out. 50 means today’s yield sits right at its usual level. A lower score means the yield is below its usual level, so the price is high against the payout. A higher score means the yield is above its usual level. On price alone a payer stays between 15 and 85. Steady raisers get a few points back. It reads the past, not the future.
When Is BIP’s Next Dividend? Ex-Date and Pay Date After September 2026
BIP has not declared its next dividend yet. By its usual rhythm of about 91 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Nov 30, 2026, with the cash around Dec 3, 2026. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.455 a share, went ex on Aug 31, 2026 and paid Sep 2, 2026.
- Ex-dates: about every 91 days (quarterly)

BIP vs Similar Dividend Stocks (SBS, CNLPM...)
Against the 10 dividend-paying Utilities companies closest to BIP in market value, BIP’s 4.61% run-rate yield is above the group’s middle yield of 3.23%, and its raise streak of 5 years is the 6th longest. A higher yield than the group is not a bonus by itself: it is often the market pricing in a cut, so read it next to the rating and the coverage behind it.

When is the next BIP dividend?
BIP has not declared its next dividend yet. By its usual rhythm of about 91 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Nov 30, 2026, with the cash around Dec 3, 2026. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.455 a share, went ex on Aug 31, 2026 and paid Sep 2, 2026. The current rate is $0.455 per share, $1.82 a year.
Does BIP pay a dividend in December 2026?
Not declared yet. By its usual rhythm the next ex-date falls around Nov 30, 2026, with the cash around Dec 3, 2026, so a payment in December 2026 is likely. Only the company’s declaration makes it final.

BIP pays $0.455 a share quarterly, $1.82 a year. At the Nov 13, 2026 close of $39.47 that is a 4.61% run-rate yield, near its usual level: its own 10-year median is 4.60%.

Is BIP’s dividend safe?
No rating can promise a future payment, but the record on file says a lot. BIP paid out 257% of its earnings and 127% of its free cash flow as dividends over the 4 quarters to Jun 30, 2026. It has raised its dividend 5 years in a row and gone 5+ years without a cut. Through the market crashes: it raised the dividend through the 2020 and 2022 crashes. There is no 2000 or 2008 record on file. This is data, not investment advice. The full 12-check rating comes with a plan.
How do I track my BIP dividends?
Add BIP to a free DRIPCalc portfolio once, with your buy date and share count. Every payout since fills in, dated and in dollars; with DRIP on, the new shares each payment buys are counted for you, so there is no spreadsheet to update and no broker login. To project the snowball, run BIP in the DRIP calculator.
