At today’s rate of $0.1562 quarterly and the last close of $82.64, this is what VXUS pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.1562 | $0.05 | $0.62 |
| 100 shares | $15.62 | $5.21 | $62.48 |
| $10,000 invested (121.0 shares) | $18.90 | $6.30 | $75.61 |
| 9,604 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.14 | $500.05 | $6,000.58 |
| 19,207 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.13 | $1,000.04 | $12,000.53 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 VXUS shares reinvest into 0.19 new shares each payment, about 0.8 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 530 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

VXUS Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- VXUS yields 0.76% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $82.64.
- Its own 10-year median is 2.28%, so today’s yield is well 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.
