How Many DB Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $1.18 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 5,080 DB shares, about $188,773 at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $37.16. $1,000 a month takes about 10,159 shares, about $377,508. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
Deutsche Bank AG (DB) pays $1.1813 a share once a year, $1.18 a year, a 3.18% run-rate yield at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $37.16. It has paid since 2002 and raised its annual dividend 3 years in a row.
At today’s rate of $1.1813 once a year and the last close of $37.16, this is what DB pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $1.1813 | $0.10 | $1.18 |
| 100 shares | $118.13 | $9.84 | $118.13 |
| $10,000 invested (269.1 shares) | $317.90 | $26.49 | $317.90 |
| 5,080 shares ($500/mo) | $6,001.00 | $500.08 | $6,001.00 |
| 10,159 shares ($1,000/mo) | $12,000.83 | $1,000.07 | $12,000.83 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 DB shares reinvest into 3.18 new shares each payment, about 3.2 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 32 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

DB Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- DB yields 3.18% today, at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $37.16.
- Its own 10-year median is 1.94%, so today’s yield is above its usual level.
- No steady norm: its payout changed too much in 3 years to read a steady norm. So this reads today’s yield against its own 10-year history as it is.
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.
