How Many MOS Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $0.88 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 6,819 MOS shares, about $155,473 at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $22.80. $1,000 a month takes about 13,637 shares, about $310,924. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
Mosaic (MOS) pays $0.22 a share quarterly, $0.88 a year, a 3.86% run-rate yield at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $22.80. It has paid since 1988 and raised its annual dividend 1 years in a row.
At today’s rate of $0.22 quarterly and the last close of $22.80, this is what MOS pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.22 | $0.07 | $0.88 |
| 100 shares | $22.00 | $7.33 | $88.00 |
| $10,000 invested (438.6 shares) | $96.49 | $32.16 | $385.96 |
| 6,819 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.18 | $500.06 | $6,000.72 |
| 13,637 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.14 | $1,000.05 | $12,000.56 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 MOS shares reinvest into 0.96 new shares each payment, about 3.9 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 104 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

MOS Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

- Its own 8-year median is 1.19%, so today’s yield is well above its usual level.
Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report
How it works. Each month-end over the last 8 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.

A higher yield than the group is not a bonus by itself: it is often the market pricing in a cut, so read it next to the rating and the coverage behind it.

What the Dividend Safety Rating Means for MOS
MOS Dividend Questions
How often does MOS pay dividends?
MOS pays quarterly, 4 times a year. Recent payments arrived in Mar, May, Sep and Dec, with ex-dates in Mar, May, Sep and Dec. The ex-date comes about every 91 days, and the cash usually lands about 4 days later.
Does MOS pay dividends monthly?
No. MOS pays quarterly, 4 times a year. For payers that pay every month, see the monthly dividend stocks.
When is the next MOS dividend?
MOS has not declared its next dividend yet. By its usual rhythm of about 91 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Dec 10, 2026, with the cash around Dec 14, 2026. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.22 a share, went ex on Sep 10, 2026 and paid Sep 14, 2026. The current rate is $0.22 per share, $0.88 a year.
Does MOS pay a dividend in December 2026?
Not declared yet. By its usual rhythm the next ex-date falls around Dec 10, 2026, with the cash around Dec 14, 2026, so a payment in December 2026 is likely. Only the company’s declaration makes it final.
How much does MOS pay per share?
MOS pays $0.22 a share quarterly, $0.88 a year. At the Nov 11, 2026 close of $22.80 that is a 3.86% run-rate yield, well above its usual level: its own 8-year median is 1.19%.
Has MOS raised its dividend?
Yes. MOS has raised its annual dividend 1 years in a row, through 2025. The latest raise, on Mar 6, 2025, took the rate from $0.21 to $0.22 (+4.76%). Over five years the dividend grew 24.0% a year.
Is MOS’s dividend safe?
No rating can promise a future payment, but the record on file says a lot. It has raised its dividend 1 years in a row and gone 8 years without a cut. Through the market crashes: it raised the dividend through the 2020 and 2022 crashes; it cut it in the 2000 (in 2001) crash. There is no 2008 record on file. This is data, not investment advice. The full 12-check rating comes with a plan.
How do I track my MOS dividends?
Add MOS to a free DRIPCalc portfolio once, with your buy date and share count. Every payout since fills in, dated and in dollars; with DRIP on, the new shares each payment buys are counted for you, so there is no spreadsheet to update and no broker login. To project the snowball, run MOS in the DRIP calculator.
