About PFF
PFF is a preferred-stock ETF that tracks an index of US preferred and hybrid securities, and pays monthly. Preferred shares behave more like bonds than common stock, so the fund offers a high, relatively steady income stream with limited price appreciation and sensitivity to interest rates.
PFF is a high-dividend etf from iShares 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 PFF: 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 PFF calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with PFF’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.
PFF dividend calculator FAQ
- How does this PFF 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 PFF's current yield (about 5.49% as of Jul 10, 2026); adjust the dividend-growth, price-growth, and tax assumptions to fit your own outlook.
- What yield should I use for PFF?
- As of Jul 10, 2026, PFF's dividend yield was about 5.49% ($1.68 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 PFF pay dividends, and when?
- iShares Preferred and Income Securities ETF pays a monthly (varies) dividend; its most recent payment was $0.1417 per share, ex-dividend Jul 1, 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 PFF 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.
