Vanguard Global ex-U.S. Real Estate ETF (VNQI) pays $2.1561 a share once a year, $2.16 a year, a 4.95% run-rate yield at the Nov 12, 2026 close of $43.57. It has made 35 dividend payments since 2010.
At today’s rate of $2.1561 once a year and the last close of $43.57, this is what VNQI pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $2.1561 | $0.18 | $2.16 |
| 100 shares | $215.61 | $17.97 | $215.61 |
| $10,000 invested (229.5 shares) | $494.86 | $41.24 | $494.86 |
| 2,783 shares ($500/mo) | $6,000.43 | $500.04 | $6,000.43 |
| 5,566 shares ($1,000/mo) | $12,000.85 | $1,000.07 | $12,000.85 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 VNQI shares reinvest into 4.95 new shares each payment, about 4.9 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 21 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

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.
