Does SCHG pay dividends?
Yes, four times a year, but they are tiny. SCHG is the Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF, and growth companies tend to reinvest their profits rather than pay them out. Schwab put the fund’s distribution yield at 0.39% for the 12 months to September 30, 2026.
In 2026 so far it has paid $0.0363, $0.0337 and $0.0371 per share, $0.1071 in total. That is 26.0% more than the same three payments in 2025.
SCHG dividend history and its two splits
SCHG split its shares twice: 2-for-1 in March 2022 and 4-for-1 in October 2024. Each split cut the payment per share without changing what a holder received in total. For example, Schwab paid $0.11 a share in September 2024, which is $0.0275 on today’s share count.
Measured that way, the yearly payout went from $0.0764 in 2022 to $0.1168 in 2025. 2023 rose 26.2%, 2024 rose 14.1%, and 2025 rose 6.2%.
SCHG dividend pay dates
SCHG goes ex-dividend near the end of March, June and September, and earlier in December. In 2026 the ex-dates were March 25, June 24 and September 23, and the cash came five days later. The last 2025 payment had a December 10 ex-date.
Schwab had not posted the December 2026 date by October 16, 2026.
What is SCHG?
It tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Growth Total Stock Market Index. It launched on December 11, 2009 and charges 0.04% a year, $4 on $10,000. On October 15, 2026, it held 189 stocks and $64.29 billion in assets.
SCHG vs QQQM
Both are growth funds with small dividends. On Oct 13, 2026, SCHG’s trailing yield was about 0.38% and QQQM’s about 0.43%. SCHG costs 0.04% a year against 0.15% for QQQM, and it held 189 stocks against QQQM’s 103. QQQM follows the Nasdaq-100; SCHG follows a Dow Jones growth index that draws from the whole U.S. market.
SCHG vs SCHD
They serve different goals. SCHD is built for dividends, with a trailing yield near 3.17% on Oct 13, 2026. SCHG yielded about 0.38%, because it holds growth companies that pay little. Picking between them is a choice between income now and a portfolio aimed at growth.
How much do 100 SCHG shares pay?
About $13.89 a year, based on the $0.1389 per share paid over the past year. In other words, SCHG is not a fund to live on its dividends.

About SCHG
SCHG tracks large-cap US growth stocks and is a capital-appreciation fund rather than a dividend product, so its yield is very low by design. Dividend projections for it are correspondingly small — it is held for growth, not income.
SCHG is a broad-market index etf from Charles Schwab 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 SCHG: 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 SCHG calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with SCHG’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 broad-market index 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.
SCHG dividend FAQ
- Why is the SCHG dividend so low?
- Because the fund holds growth companies, which pay small dividends or none. Schwab listed a 0.39% distribution yield for the year to September 30, 2026.
- Did SCHG split?
- Yes, twice: 2-for-1 in March 2022 and 4-for-1 on October 10, 2024. Older dividend amounts must be divided by 8 or 4 to compare with today’s shares.
- What is SCHG’s expense ratio?
- Schwab lists a 0.04% total expense ratio, or $4 a year on every $10,000.
- How does this SCHG 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 SCHG's current yield (about 0.38% 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 SCHG?
- As of Oct 13, 2026, SCHG's dividend yield was about 0.38% ($0.1389 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 SCHG pay dividends, and when?
- Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF pays a quarterly dividend; its most recent payment was $0.0371 per share, ex-dividend Sep 23, 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 SCHG 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.
