How Many SCHP Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $0.67 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 8,929 SCHP shares, about $226,350 at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $25.35. $1,000 a month takes about 17,858 shares, about $452,700. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
Schwab US TIPS ETF (SCHP) pays $0.056 a share monthly, $0.67 a year, a 2.65% run-rate yield at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $25.35. It has made 128 distribution payments since 2010.
At today’s rate of $0.056 monthly and the last close of $25.35, this is what SCHP pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.056 | $0.06 | $0.67 |
| 100 shares | $5.60 | $5.60 | $67.20 |
| $10,000 invested (394.5 shares) | $22.09 | $22.09 | $265.09 |
| 8,929 shares ($500/mo) | $500.02 | $500.02 | $6,000.29 |
| 17,858 shares ($1,000/mo) | $1,000.05 | $1,000.05 | $12,000.58 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 SCHP shares reinvest into 0.22 new shares each payment, about 2.7 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 453 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 10, 2026, SCHP paid $1.17 a share while its share price fell from $26.83 to $25.35. Total return was -$0.31 a share, so every dollar paid above was your own money coming back, and the share value fell $0.31 more on top.

SCHP Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- SCHP yields 2.65% today, at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $25.35.
- Its own 10-year median is 3.82%, so today’s yield is below its usual level.
- No steady norm: its payout changed too much in 3 years to read a steady norm. So this reads today’s yield against its own 10-year history as it is.
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.
When Is SCHP’s Next Distribution? Ex-Date and Pay Date After October 2026
SCHP has not declared its next distribution yet. By its usual gap of about 30 days the next ex-date was due around Oct 31, 2026, and it is not on file yet: it may be late, or still to be announced. The latest one, $0.056 a share, went ex on Oct 1, 2026 and paid Oct 5, 2026.
- Ex-dates: about every 30 days (monthly)
- Payment: usually about 2 days after the ex-date
Every payer going ex-dividend this week is on the dividend calendar.
How Often Does SCHP Pay?
SCHP pays monthly, 12 times a year. The ex-date comes about every 30 days, and the cash usually lands about 2 days later.
SCHP vs Similar Dividend Funds (VTWO, DUKH...)
Against the 10 dividend funds in Asset Management closest to SCHP in fund size, SCHP’s 2.65% run-rate yield is above the group’s middle yield of 1.53%. 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.
