About SPHD
SPHD selects S&P 500 stocks that combine high dividend yield with low historical volatility, and pays monthly. It aims for steady income with a smoother ride than a pure high-yield screen.
SPHD is a high-dividend etf from Invesco 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 SPHD: 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 SPHD calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with SPHD’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.
SPHD dividend calculator FAQ
- How does this SPHD dividend calculator work?
- It runs a month-by-month projection: each month it adds your contribution, pays a dividend based on the yield you enter, optionally reinvests it (DRIP), then applies price growth. The page loads with illustrative figures for Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF; replace them with the current yield and your own assumptions for an accurate projection.
- What yield should I use for SPHD?
- Use SPHD's current dividend yield from your broker or the fund page, not the example value pre-filled here — yields move with the share price and the distribution. Enter the trailing or forward yield, whichever you prefer to model.
- Does SPHD pay monthly or quarterly?
- Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF pays monthly. This calculator projects annual totals and compounds monthly, so it works the same regardless of the actual payment schedule — the monthly cadence just affects when cash actually lands in your account.
- Is the SPHD 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.
