How Many LDRI Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $0.49 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 12,296 LDRI shares, about $304,326 at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $24.75. $1,000 a month takes about 24,591 shares, about $608,627. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
iShares iBonds 1-5 Year TIPS Ladder ETF (LDRI) pays $0.122 a share quarterly, $0.49 a year, a 1.97% run-rate yield at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $24.75. It has made 75 dividend payments since 2014.
At today’s rate of $0.122 quarterly and the last close of $24.75, this is what LDRI pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.122 | $0.04 | $0.49 |
| 100 shares | $12.20 | $4.07 | $48.80 |
| $10,000 invested (404.0 shares) | $49.29 | $16.43 | $197.17 |
| 12,296 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.11 | $500.04 | $6,000.45 |
| 24,591 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.10 | $1,000.03 | $12,000.41 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 LDRI shares reinvest into 0.49 new shares each payment, about 2.0 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 203 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

LDRI Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- LDRI yields 1.97% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $24.75.
- Its payout changed too much in 3 years to read a steady norm. So there is no usual level to compare today’s yield with yet.
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.
