How Many PRSIX Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $0.54 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 11,195 PRSIX shares, about $237,894 at the Nov 12, 2026 close of $21.25. $1,000 a month takes about 22,389 shares, about $475,766. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
T. Rowe Price Spectrum Conservative Allocation Fund (PRSIX) pays $0.134 a share quarterly, $0.54 a year, a 2.52% run-rate yield at the Nov 12, 2026 close of $21.25. A special dividend of $1.076 came on top in the last year; specials are paid case by case, so they never count in the rate or the yield here. It has made 124 dividend payments since 1996.
At today’s rate of $0.134 quarterly and the last close of $21.25, this is what PRSIX pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.134 | $0.04 | $0.54 |
| 100 shares | $13.40 | $4.47 | $53.60 |
| $10,000 invested (470.6 shares) | $63.06 | $21.02 | $252.24 |
| 11,195 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.13 | $500.04 | $6,000.52 |
| 22,389 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.13 | $1,000.04 | $12,000.50 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 PRSIX shares reinvest into 0.63 new shares each payment, about 2.5 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 159 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

PRSIX Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

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.

Against the 10 dividend funds in Asset Management closest to PRSIX in fund size, PRSIX’s 2.52% run-rate yield is below the group’s middle yield of 4.47%. 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.
