How Many GRMAX Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $0.15 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 39,474 GRMAX shares, about $1,330,274 at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $33.70. $1,000 a month takes about 78,948 shares, about $2,660,548. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
Nationwide S&P 500 Index Fund (GRMAX) pays $0.038 a share quarterly, $0.15 a year, a 0.45% run-rate yield at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $33.70. A special dividend of $1.403 came on top in the last year; specials are paid case by case, so they never count in the rate or the yield here. It has made 79 dividend payments since 2007.
At today’s rate of $0.038 quarterly and the last close of $33.70, this is what GRMAX pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.038 | $0.01 | $0.15 |
| 100 shares | $3.80 | $1.27 | $15.20 |
| $10,000 invested (296.7 shares) | $11.28 | $3.76 | $45.10 |
| 39,474 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.01 | $500.00 | $6,000.05 |
| 78,948 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.02 | $1,000.01 | $12,000.10 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 GRMAX shares reinvest into 0.11 new shares each payment, about 0.5 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 887 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

GRMAX Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- GRMAX yields 0.45% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $33.70.
- Its own 10-year median is 0.81%, so today’s yield is below its usual level.
- No steady norm: a 0.45% yield is too small to say much about the price. 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.
