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

At $1.32 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 4,560 IEMG shares, about $346,058 at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $75.89. $1,000 a month takes about 9,119 shares, about $692,041. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (IEMG) pays $0.658 a share twice a year, $1.32 a year, a 1.73% run-rate yield at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $75.89. It has made 29 dividend payments since 2012.

At today’s rate of $0.658 twice a year and the last close of $75.89, this is what IEMG pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 IEMG shares reinvest into 0.87 new shares each payment, about 1.7 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 116 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

IEMG Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

30/100Below its usual yieldvs its 10-yr history
  • IEMG yields 1.73% today, at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $75.89.
  • Its own 10-year median is 2.36%, 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.
Last 5 years: lowest to highest month-end yield
1.57% low5.21% 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 11, 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.
