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

At $0.88 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 6,788 XLK shares, about $1,155,657 at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $170.25. $1,000 a month takes about 13,575 shares, about $2,311,144. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK) pays $0.221 a share quarterly, $0.88 a year, a 0.52% run-rate yield at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $170.25. It has made 85 dividend payments since 1999.

At today’s rate of $0.221 quarterly and the last close of $170.25, this is what XLK pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year

13,575 shares ($1,000/mo)$3,000.08$1,000.03$12,000.30

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 XLK shares reinvest into 0.13 new shares each payment, about 0.5 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 771 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

XLK Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

19/100Well below its usual yieldvs its 10-yr history
  • XLK yields 0.52% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $170.25.
  • Its own 10-year median is 1.30%, 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.
Last 5 years: lowest to highest month-end yield
0.35% low1.76% 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.

When Is XLK’s Next Dividend? Ex-Date and Pay Date After September 2026

XLK has not declared its next dividend yet. By its usual rhythm of about 91 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Dec 21, 2026, with the cash around Dec 23, 2026.

  • Ex-dates: about every 91 days (quarterly)
  • Payment: usually about 2 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 13, 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.
