How Many DUSB Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?

Dimensional Ultrashort Fixed Income ETF (DUSB) pays $0.153 a share monthly, $1.84 a year, a 3.63% run-rate yield at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $50.63. It has made 37 distribution payments since 2023.
At today’s rate of $0.153 monthly and the last close of $50.63, this is what DUSB pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.153 | $0.15 | $1.84 |
| 100 shares | $15.30 | $15.30 | $183.60 |
| $10,000 invested (197.5 shares) | $30.22 | $30.22 | $362.63 |
| 3,268 shares ($500/mo) | $500.00 | $500.00 | $6,000.05 |
| 6,536 shares ($1,000/mo) | $1,000.01 | $1,000.01 | $12,000.10 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 DUSB shares reinvest into 0.30 new shares each payment, about 3.7 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 331 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 13, 2026, DUSB paid $1.98 a share while its share price fell from $50.84 to $50.63. Distributions exceeded total return by $0.21 a share, so part of every payment above was your own money coming back.

DUSB Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- DUSB yields 3.63% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $50.63.
- Its own 3-year median is 4.35%, 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 3-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 3 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.
