How Many FLOW Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $0.66 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 9,091 FLOW shares, about $414,368 at the Nov 9, 2026 close of $45.58. $1,000 a month takes about 18,182 shares, about $828,736. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
Global X U.S. Cash Flow Kings 100 ETF (FLOW) pays $0.055 a share monthly, $0.66 a year, a 1.45% run-rate yield at the Nov 9, 2026 close of $45.58. It has made 40 distribution payments since 2023.
At today’s rate of $0.055 monthly and the last close of $45.58, this is what FLOW pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.055 | $0.06 | $0.66 |
| 100 shares | $5.50 | $5.50 | $66.00 |
| $10,000 invested (219.4 shares) | $12.07 | $12.07 | $144.80 |
| 9,091 shares ($500/mo) | $500.01 | $500.01 | $6,000.06 |
| 18,182 shares ($1,000/mo) | $1,000.01 | $1,000.01 | $12,000.12 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 FLOW shares reinvest into 0.12 new shares each payment, about 1.5 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 829 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 FLOW’s own history in the FLOW DRIP calculator.
The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 9, 2026, FLOW paid $0.74 a share and its share price went from $34.47 to $45.58, so total return covered every dollar paid.

FLOW Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- FLOW yields 1.45% today, at the Nov 9, 2026 close of $45.58.
- Its own 3-year median is 2.15%, so today’s yield is well below its usual level.
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.
When Is FLOW’s Next Distribution? Ex-Date and Pay Date After November 2026

Against the 10 dividend funds in Asset Management closest to FLOW in fund size, FLOW’s 1.45% run-rate yield is close to the group’s middle yield of 1.46%.
