What is the DON ETF?
DON is the WisdomTree U.S. MidCap Dividend Fund, launched in June 2006. Like its large-cap and small-cap siblings, it starts from WisdomTree’s list of every U.S. company paying a regular dividend and sets aside the 300 biggest.
From the companies left, DON keeps the larger ones, the top 75% by market value; DES gets the smaller 25%. In mid-2026 DON’s index ran from about $2.4 billion to $33.1 billion in company size. Stocks are weighted by the cash dividends they are expected to pay.
The fund had $3.87 billion on October 15, 2026, with a 0.38% yearly fee. No single stock was large: Best Buy led at 1.58%, then Viatris, HF Sinclair, APA and Franklin Resources. Financials were the biggest sector at 22.5%, ahead of industrials at 17.5%.

In 2026 the first nine checks came to $0.88642 a share, almost exactly the same as the first nine months of 2025. February 2026 paid less than a cent.
DON monthly payment pattern
DON pays each month, with ex-dates in the final week and cash a few days later. The size follows a rough pattern: March, June, September and December pay the most, and the months between are smaller. In 2025 December was the largest, at $0.23369 plus a $0.04178 extra on December 31.
As of October 16, 2026, the October payment was not yet listed. In 2025 DON went ex on October 28 and paid $0.065.

Mid-size dividend payers lagged in 2025. DON returned 3.91% that year, against 7.50% for the S&P MidCap 400. In 2020 it swung hard: down 35.90% in the first quarter, then up 21.55% in the last.

About DON
DON tracks the WisdomTree U.S. MidCap Dividend Index, holding US mid-cap dividend payers weighted by projected cash dividends, and pays monthly. It gives dividend-focused exposure to the mid-cap segment with a value tilt.
DON is a high-dividend etf from WisdomTree that distributes monthly. Because dividend investing is about both income and the growth of that income, the calculator above lets you model three things independently for DON: 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 DON calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with DON’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 high-dividend etf 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.

- How does this DON 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 DON's current yield (about 2.38% 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 DON?
- As of Oct 13, 2026, DON's dividend yield was about 2.38% ($1.31 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 DON pay dividends, and when?
- WisdomTree U.S. MidCap Dividend Fund pays a monthly (varies) dividend; its most recent payment was $0.12 per share, ex-dividend Sep 25, 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 DON 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.
