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

At $0.88 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 6,819 SPSM shares, about $376,204 at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $55.17. $1,000 a month takes about 13,637 shares, about $752,353. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 600 Small Cap ETF (SPSM) pays $0.22 a share quarterly, $0.88 a year, a 1.60% run-rate yield at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $55.17. It has made 54 dividend payments since 2013.

At today’s rate of $0.22 quarterly and the last close of $55.17, this is what SPSM pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year
1 share$0.22$0.07$0.88
100 shares$22.00$7.33$88.00

13,637 shares ($1,000/mo)$3,000.14$1,000.05$12,000.56

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 SPSM shares reinvest into 0.40 new shares each payment, about 1.6 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 251 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

SPSM Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

55/100Near its usual yieldvs its 10-yr history
  • SPSM yields 1.60% today, at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $55.17.
  • Its own 10-year median is 1.56%, so today’s yield is near its usual level.
Last 5 years: lowest to highest month-end yield
0.59% low2.95% high
Blue mark = today, grey = its 10-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 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 SPSM in fund size, SPSM’s 1.60% run-rate yield is close to the group’s middle yield of 1.46%. 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.

How this page is built: the rate is the latest regular dividend 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 3 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.
