If the recent pace holds — one-off jumps left out. Not a forecast. Pace: +6.1% a year, its typical raise over the last 5 years. From 2029 it slows by a quarter each year, to no less than 5%. Today's $2.85 a year would be $3.72 by 2031 - 1.42% on today's $261.51 price.

Fidelity 500 Index Fund (FXAIX) pays $0.713 a share quarterly, $2.85 a year, a 1.09% run-rate yield at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $261.51. It has made 64 dividend payments since 2011.

At today’s rate of $0.713 quarterly and the last close of $261.51, this is what FXAIX pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year
1 share$0.713$0.24$2.85
100 shares$71.30$23.77$285.20

4,208 shares ($1,000/mo)$3,000.30$1,000.10$12,001.22

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 FXAIX shares reinvest into 0.27 new shares each payment, about 1.1 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 367 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

FXAIX Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

21/100Below its usual yieldvs its 10-yr history
  • FXAIX yields 1.09% today, at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $261.51.
  • Its own 10-year median is 1.60%, so today’s yield is below its usual level.
Last 5 years: lowest to highest month-end yield
1.01% low1.91% high
Blue mark = today, grey = its 10-year median. A higher yield than usual means a lower price against the payout.

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.

How this page is built: the rate is the latest regular dividend per share; run-rate yield = rate × payments per year ÷ last close (Nov 10, 2026), never a trailing 12-month total, which lags after a raise and hides a cut. Specials and one-off payments never count in the rate; a payer whose regular payments differ in size is annualized over its last full cycle of regular payments. Raise streak = consecutive calendar years with a higher amount per payment than the year before; years without a cut = years in which the amount per payment held within 1%. The Dividend Safety Rating reads 3 visible lines: coverage, streak, raise pace and yield range for dividend stocks; NAV trend, NAV funding and payout stability for income funds. Similar payers = the same sector or fund group, nearest in market value or fund size. Payments, prices and filings come from DRIPCALC’s price and dividend database. History is not a forecast. This is data, not investment advice.
