How Many TIP Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $9.41 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 638 TIP shares, about $67,188 at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $105.31. $1,000 a month takes about 1,276 shares, about $134,376. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
iShares TIPS Bond ETF (TIP) pays $0.784 a share monthly, $9.41 a year, an 8.93% run-rate yield at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $105.31. A special dividend of $1.278 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 94 distribution payments since 2013.
At today’s rate of $0.784 monthly and the last close of $105.31, this is what TIP pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.784 | $0.78 | $9.41 |
| 100 shares | $78.40 | $78.40 | $940.80 |
| $10,000 invested (95.0 shares) | $74.45 | $74.45 | $893.36 |
| 638 shares ($500/mo) | $500.19 | $500.19 | $6,002.30 |
| 1,276 shares ($1,000/mo) | $1,000.38 | $1,000.38 | $12,004.61 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 TIP shares reinvest into 0.74 new shares each payment, about 9.3 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 135 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 TIP’s own history in the TIP DRIP calculator.
The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 10, 2026, TIP paid $4.35 a share while its share price fell from $110.92 to $105.31. Total return was -$1.27 a share, so every dollar paid above was your own money coming back, and the share value fell $1.27 more on top.

TIP Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- TIP yields 8.93% today, at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $105.31.
- Its own 10-year median is 2.98%, so today’s yield is well above 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 TIP’s Next Distribution? Ex-Date and Pay Date After August 2026
TIP has not declared its next distribution yet. By its usual gap of about 33 days the next ex-date was due around Sep 5, 2026, and it is not on file yet: it may be late, or still to be announced. The latest one, $0.784 a share, went ex on Aug 3, 2026 and paid Aug 5, 2026.
- Ex-dates: about every 31 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 TIP Pay?
TIP pays monthly, 12 times a year. The ex-date comes about every 31 days, and the cash usually lands about 2 days later.
TIP vs Similar Dividend Funds (IWY, AVUS...)
Against the 10 dividend funds in Asset Management closest to TIP in fund size, TIP’s 8.93% run-rate yield is above the group’s middle yield of 1.34%. 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.
