PSEC dividend snapshot
Variable distributionAs of Jul 10, 2026, PSEC yields about 24.43%, having distributed $0.54 per share over the trailing twelve months.
Its most recent payment was $0.035 per share, which went ex-dividend on Jun 26, 2026 and paid on Jul 22, 2026; the next ex-dividend date is declared for Jul 29, 2026.
Because PSEC pays a variable monthly distribution, the amount changes every period — its recent payments have ranged from $0.035 to $0.045 per share. Treat the headline yield as a record of what was paid, not a promise of future income.
As a monthly-paying BDC, PSEC pairs an above-average yield with income taxed largely as ordinary income rather than as qualified dividends — so set the price-growth input in the calculator above conservatively rather than assuming the yield compounds untouched.

About PSEC
Prospect Capital is a business development company (BDC) that lends mostly senior and first-lien debt to mid-sized US companies, and pays a monthly dividend. Its distributions are generally taxed as ordinary income, and its very high headline yield reflects elevated risk.
PSEC is a monthly-paying bdc from Prospect Capital 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 PSEC: 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 PSEC calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with PSEC’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 monthly-paying bdc 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.

PSEC dividend calculator FAQ
- How does this PSEC 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 PSEC's current yield (about 24.43% 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 PSEC?
- As of Jul 10, 2026, PSEC's dividend yield was about 24.43% ($0.54 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 PSEC pay dividends, and when?
- Prospect Capital Corporation pays a monthly (varies) dividend; its most recent payment was $0.035 per share, ex-dividend Jun 26, 2026, with the next ex-dividend date declared for Jul 29, 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 PSEC 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.
