At today’s rate of $0.10 quarterly and the last close of $0.73, this is what NHTC pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.10 | $0.03 | $0.40 |
| 100 shares | $10.00 | $3.33 | $40.00 |
| $10,000 invested (13,698.6 shares) | $1,369.86 | $456.62 | $5,479.45 |
| 15,000 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.00 | $500.00 | $6,000.00 |
| 30,000 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.00 | $1,000.00 | $12,000.00 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 NHTC shares reinvest into 13.70 new shares each payment, about 67.1 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 8 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

NHTC Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- NHTC yields 54.79% today, at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $0.73.
- A cut in 2026 skews its yield history. 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.
