How Many QDTY Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?

YieldMax Nasdaq 100 0DTE Covered Call Strategy ETF (QDTY) pays $0.2124 a share weekly, $11.04 a year, a 31.40% run-rate yield at the Nov 12, 2026 close of $35.17. It has made 91 distribution payments since 2025.
At today’s rate of $0.2124 weekly and the last close of $35.17, this is what QDTY pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each week | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.2124 | $0.92 | $11.04 |
| 100 shares | $21.24 | $92.04 | $1,104.48 |
| $10,000 invested (284.3 shares) | $60.39 | $261.70 | $3,140.40 |
| 544 shares ($500/mo) | $115.55 | $500.70 | $6,008.37 |
| 1,087 shares ($1,000/mo) | $230.88 | $1,000.47 | $12,005.70 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 QDTY shares reinvest into 0.60 new shares each payment, about 36.8 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 166 shares. Here the share count grows fast partly because the price keeps falling: more shares, each worth less, so count the shares and their value together. See the snowball over 10 to 30 years with QDTY’s own history in the QDTY DRIP calculator.
The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 12, 2026, QDTY paid $13.77 a share while its NAV per share fell from $45.27 to $35.17. Distributions exceeded total return by $10.10 a share, so part of every payment above was your own money coming back.
- NAV trend: is the fund’s share price holding up report
- Lifetime total return: did holders make money since launch rating
- Distribution funded by NAV: is it paying you with your own money report
- Earned vs paid: does total return cover what it pays rating
- Distribution stability: how much the payout jumps around history
- Distribution trend: is the payout growing or shrinking history
- Crash test: how the fund held up in market drops history
- Yield sanity: is the yield too high to be believable rating
- NAV-eroding class: funds that pay out more than they make report
QDTY Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- QDTY yields 31.40% today, at the Nov 12, 2026 close of $35.17.
- Too new to rate — paying since 2025. 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.
When Is QDTY’s Next Distribution? Ex-Date and Pay Date After November 2026
QDTY has not declared its next distribution yet. By its usual rhythm of about 7 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Nov 19, 2026, with the cash around Nov 20, 2026. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.2124 a share, went ex on Nov 12, 2026.
- Ex-dates: about every 7 days (weekly)
- Payment: usually about 1 days after the ex-date
Before QDTY declares, its QDTY next payout estimate is on its YieldMax tracker page. Every payer going ex-dividend this week is on the dividend calendar.
How Often Does QDTY Pay?
QDTY pays weekly, 52 times a year. The ex-date comes about every 7 days, and the cash usually lands about 1 days later.
QDTY vs Similar YieldMax Funds (WNTR, NFLY...)
Against the 10 YieldMax funds closest to QDTY in fund size, QDTY’s 31.40% run-rate yield is below the group’s middle yield of 55.49%. A higher yield than the group is not a bonus by itself: in income funds it often comes with a faster-falling share price, so read it next to the NAV trend and the rating.
