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

At $0.68 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 8,824 WHF shares, about $71,563 at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $8.11. $1,000 a month takes about 17,648 shares, about $143,125. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

WhiteHorse Finance (WHF) pays $0.17 a share quarterly, $0.68 a year, an 8.38% run-rate yield at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $8.11. It has made 63 dividend payments since 2012.

At today’s rate of $0.17 quarterly and the last close of $8.11, this is what WHF pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year
1 share$0.17$0.06$0.68
100 shares$17.00$5.67$68.00
$10,000 invested (1,233.0 shares)$209.62$69.87$838.47

17,648 shares ($1,000/mo)$3,000.16$1,000.05$12,000.64

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 WHF shares reinvest into 2.10 new shares each payment, about 8.7 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 48 shares. Raises speed 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 WHF’s own history in the WHF DRIP calculator.

WHF Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

Reset by the 2026 cut
  • WHF yields 8.38% today, at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $8.11.
  • A cut in 2026 skews its yield history. So there is no usual level to compare today’s yield with yet.
Last 5 years: lowest to highest month-end yield
3.48% low22.25% high
Blue mark = today. A higher yield means a lower price against the payout.

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 WHF’s Next Dividend? Ex-Date and Pay Date After November 2026

WHF has not declared its next dividend yet. By its usual rhythm of about 75 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Jan 13, 2027, with the cash around Jan 16, 2027. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.17 a share, went ex on Oct 30, 2026 and paid Nov 2, 2026.

  • Ex-dates: about every 75 days (quarterly)
  • Payment: usually about 3 days after the ex-date

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 7 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.
