QYLD dividend snapshot
Variable distributionAs of Jul 10, 2026, QYLD yields about 11.40%, having distributed $2.10 per share over the trailing twelve months.
Its most recent payment was $0.1854 per share, which went ex-dividend on Jun 22, 2026 and paid on Jun 25, 2026.
Because QYLD pays a variable monthly distribution, the amount changes every period — its recent payments have ranged from $0.1715 to $0.1854 per share. Treat the headline yield as a record of what was paid, not a promise of future income.
As a covered-call income ETF, QYLD pairs an above-average yield with limited share-price upside, because option premium is exchanged for capped growth — so set the price-growth input in the calculator above conservatively rather than assuming the yield compounds untouched.

About QYLD
QYLD owns the Nasdaq-100 and systematically sells at-the-money call options on the whole index, distributing the premium monthly. This produces a very high yield but caps upside, so its share price has historically been flat to declining — a classic case for checking total return, not just yield.
QYLD is a covered-call income etf from Global X 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 QYLD: the starting yield, how fast the dividend grows each year, and how fast the share price appreciates. That separation matters most for covered-call funds, where a high headline yield often pairs with little or no price growth — so the "stock price growth" input should usually be modest.
How to use the QYLD calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with QYLD’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 covered-call income 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.
QYLD dividend calculator FAQ
- How does this QYLD 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 QYLD's current yield (about 11.40% 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 QYLD?
- As of Jul 10, 2026, QYLD's dividend yield was about 11.40% ($2.10 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. For a covered-call fund the headline yield is high but usually comes with little or no price growth, so set the price-growth input realistically.
- How often does QYLD pay dividends, and when?
- Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF pays a monthly (varies) dividend; its most recent payment was $0.1854 per share, ex-dividend Jun 22, 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 QYLD 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.
