How Many DTD Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $1.38 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 4,348 DTD shares, about $419,886 at the Nov 9, 2026 close of $96.57. $1,000 a month takes about 8,696 shares, about $839,773. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
WisdomTree U.S. Total Dividend Fund (DTD) pays $0.115 a share monthly, $1.38 a year, a 1.43% run-rate yield at the Nov 9, 2026 close of $96.57. It has made 191 distribution payments since 2006.
At today’s rate of $0.115 monthly and the last close of $96.57, this is what DTD pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.115 | $0.12 | $1.38 |
| 100 shares | $11.50 | $11.50 | $138.00 |
| $10,000 invested (103.6 shares) | $11.91 | $11.91 | $142.90 |
| 4,348 shares ($500/mo) | $500.02 | $500.02 | $6,000.24 |
| 8,696 shares ($1,000/mo) | $1,000.04 | $1,000.04 | $12,000.48 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 DTD shares reinvest into 0.12 new shares each payment, about 1.4 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 840 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less. See the snowball over 10 to 30 years with DTD’s own history in the DTD DRIP calculator.
The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 9, 2026, DTD paid $1.75 a share and its share price went from $83.27 to $96.57, so total return covered every dollar paid.

- Distribution funded by NAV: is it paying you with your own money report
- Distribution stability: how much the payout jumps around history
- Distribution trend: is the payout growing or shrinking history

DTD Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- DTD yields 1.43% today, at the Nov 9, 2026 close of $96.57.
- Its own 10-year median is 2.29%, so today’s yield is below 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.
When Is DTD’s Next Distribution? Ex-Date and Pay Date After October 2026
DTD has not declared its next distribution yet. By its usual rhythm of about 30 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Nov 26, 2026, with the cash around Nov 28, 2026. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.115 a share, went ex on Oct 27, 2026 and paid Oct 29, 2026.
- Ex-dates: about every 30 days (monthly)
- Payment: usually about 2 days after the ex-date
Every payer going ex-dividend this week is on the dividend calendar.
How Often Does DTD Pay?
DTD pays monthly, 12 times a year. The ex-date comes about every 30 days, and the cash usually lands about 2 days later.
DTD vs Similar Dividend Funds (FGMNX, FSLVX...)
Against the 10 dividend funds in Asset Management closest to DTD in fund size, DTD’s 1.43% run-rate yield is below the group’s middle yield of 3.47%. A higher yield than the group is not a bonus by itself: in income funds it often comes with a faster-falling share price, so read it next to the NAV trend and the rating.
