At $1.79 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 3,356 PAXS shares, about $44,803 at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $13.35. $1,000 a month takes about 6,712 shares, about $89,605. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

PIMCO Access Income Fund (PAXS) pays $0.149 a share monthly, $1.79 a year, a 13.39% run-rate yield at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $13.35. It has made 57 distribution payments since 2022.

At today’s rate of $0.149 monthly and the last close of $13.35, this is what PAXS pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year

100 shares$14.90$14.90$178.80

6,712 shares ($1,000/mo)$1,000.09$1,000.09$12,001.06

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 PAXS shares reinvest into 1.12 new shares each payment, about 14.2 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 90 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less. See the snowball over 10 to 30 years with PAXS’s own history in the PAXS DRIP calculator.

The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 11, 2026, PAXS paid $1.79 a share while its share price fell from $16.04 to $13.35. Total return was -$0.90 a share, so every dollar paid above was your own money coming back, and the share value fell $0.90 more on top.

PAXS Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

81/100Well above its usual yieldvs its 4-yr history
  • PAXS yields 13.39% today, at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $13.35.
  • Its own 4-year median is 11.57%, so today’s yield is well above its usual level.
Since Mar 2022: lowest to highest month-end yield
7.62% low13.83% high
Blue mark = today, grey = its 4-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 4 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.

More Dividend Lists and Tools

How this page is built: the rate is the latest regular distribution 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 6 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.
