Apple dividend 2026: $0.27 a quarter
On April 30, 2026, along with its quarterly results, Apple raised its dividend 4%, from $0.26 to $0.27 a share. That is $1.08 a year. The board also approved another $100 billion of share buybacks.
In 2026 so far, three payments have gone ex-dividend: $0.26 in February and $0.27 in May and August, for $0.80 per share.
AAPL dividend history
Measured per share today, Apple paid $0.5075 in 2015 and $1.03 in 2025. That is roughly twice as much, about 7.3% more each year. The biggest jump in that span was 2018, up 14.6%.
The raises have become smaller. Since 2022, each one has added a single cent to the quarterly payment, so 2025 came in only 4.0% above 2024. Every raise in the table took effect with the May payment.
Why Apple’s old dividends look bigger
Apple split its stock 7-for-1 in June 2014 and 4-for-1 in August 2020. Apple’s own history lists the amounts as paid at the time, such as $0.77 per share in 2019. On today’s share count that is $0.1925, because one 2019 share became four.
A holder’s cash did not change with either split; only the share count did.
Why is Apple’s dividend so low?
Apple returns far more cash through buybacks than through dividends. In fiscal 2025, it paid $15.4 billion in dividends and spent $90.7 billion buying back its own shares, almost six times as much.
Buybacks shrink the share count instead of sending cash to holders, so the dividend yield stays small.
When does Apple pay dividends?
Apple declares each dividend with its quarterly results. In 2026 the ex-dividend dates were February 9, May 11 and August 10, and the cash came three days later: February 12, May 14 and August 13.
The next one should come with Apple’s fiscal fourth-quarter results. In 2025 that dividend was declared on October 30, went ex on November 10 and was paid on November 13.
Apple dividend yield
Apple’s trailing yield was about 0.32% on Oct 13, 2026: $1.06 per share over the past year, with the stock near $331.25. That is far below most dividend stocks, for the buyback reason above.
How much do 100 Apple shares pay?
One hundred Apple shares bring in $27 a quarter at the $0.27 rate, $108 a year. Earning $1,000 a month would take 11,112 shares, about $3,680,850 near $331.25 a share.

About AAPL
Apple is the world’s largest technology company by market value, known for the iPhone, Mac, and a large services business. It pays a small but steadily growing quarterly dividend — the yield is low because Apple is primarily a growth-and-buyback story rather than an income stock.
AAPL is a dividend-growth stock from Apple that distributes quarterly. Because dividend investing is about both income and the growth of that income, the calculator above lets you model three things independently for AAPL: the starting yield, how fast the dividend grows each year, and how fast the share price appreciates. That separation matters most for high-yield versus dividend-growth choices, where a lower starting yield that grows quickly can overtake a higher static yield over time.
How to use the AAPL calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with AAPL’s current dividend yield from your broker or the fund’s page.
- Set your initial investment and monthly contribution.
- Estimate the dividend growth rate and price growth rate. For a dividend-growth stock these can differ a lot — be realistic rather than optimistic.
- Choose your dividend tax rate and whether to reinvest (DRIP), then read the projected value, dividends received, and yield on cost.
The full math, including how the money-weighted return is computed, is on the methodology page.
AAPL dividend FAQ
- Does Apple pay a dividend?
- Yes, every quarter. Apple started its current dividend in 2012 and has raised it each spring since 2013.
- What is Apple’s annual dividend per share in 2026?
- At the current $0.27 a quarter, the yearly rate is $1.08 per share. Because the February payment was still $0.26, the calendar-year 2026 total will be $1.07 if the next dividend stays at $0.27.
- When does Apple pay its next dividend?
- The latest went ex on Aug 10, 2026 and was paid Aug 13, 2026. The next is usually declared with the late-October results and paid in mid-November.
- Is Apple a good dividend stock?
- For income alone, its yield is small. This page does not give buy or sell advice; the facts are a yield well under 1%, raises of about 4% a year lately, and much larger buybacks than dividends.
- How does this AAPL dividend calculator work?
- It runs a month-by-month projection: each month it adds your contribution, pays a dividend based on the yield, optionally reinvests it (DRIP), then applies price growth. The page loads pre-filled with AAPL's current yield (about 0.32% as of Oct 13, 2026); adjust the dividend-growth, price-growth, and tax assumptions to fit your own outlook.
- What yield should I use for AAPL?
- As of Oct 13, 2026, AAPL's dividend yield was about 0.32% ($1.06 per share over the trailing year). Yields move with the share price, so use the current figure from your broker rather than a fixed number. Enter the trailing or forward yield, whichever you prefer to model.
- How often does AAPL pay dividends, and when?
- Apple Inc. pays a quarterly dividend; its most recent payment was $0.27 per share, ex-dividend Aug 10, 2026. This calculator compounds monthly and projects annual totals, so it works the same regardless of the payment schedule — the cadence just affects when cash actually lands in your account.
- Is the AAPL projection a guarantee?
- No. It is an educational projection based on the assumptions you enter, held constant. Real dividends can rise, be cut, or stop, and prices fluctuate. Use it to compare scenarios, not to predict returns, and never rely on a single calculator for an investment decision.
