TSLY Dividend Calculator

Measured per share of TSLY today, the fund paid $91.226 in 2023, $58.7235 in 2024 (35.6% less) and $34.2314 in 2025 (41.7% less). The drop has continued in 2026: the first 39 payments add up to $11.0763, about half of the $23.3155 paid over the same stretch of 2025.

In 2026 a single weekly payment has ranged from $0.1788 to $0.5165 per share. No two weeks are the same, so a recent payment is only a rough guide to the next one.

A reverse split swaps several old shares for one new share, so each share is worth more and each payment per share gets bigger by the same factor. TSLY did a 1-for-2 split in February 2024 and a 1-for-5 split in November 2025.

Here is how that plays out. On September 4, 2025, TSLY paid $0.3926 per share. After the later 1-for-5 split, that same payment counts as $1.963 per share of today’s TSLY. Your total income did not change; it is just spread over fewer, larger shares.

YieldMax runs TSLY as an actively managed fund that sells call spreads on Tesla stock (TSLA). The option premiums it collects from Tesla’s price swings pay the weekly distributions. YieldMax says the fund keeps some share in Tesla’s gains, but the option trades cap part of the upside.

The income comes from Tesla options, not company dividends. So it rises and falls with how much Tesla’s price is moving, and with the fund’s own share price. A lower share price also means each payment is a smaller dollar amount.

TSLY switched from monthly to weekly payments on October 23, 2025, and has not missed a week since. YieldMax announces each payment on a Wednesday. The ex-dividend date is the next day, a Thursday (a Friday in holiday weeks), and the money is paid one business day after that.

So the “TSLY dividend announcement today” that many people search for comes out each Wednesday, and the amount is not known before then.

As of Oct 13, 2026, TSLY’s trailing yield was about 82.87%: the last 12 months of payments ($18.43 per share) divided by the share price. YieldMax listed a distribution rate of 48.70% on September 23, 2026. That number takes the latest weekly payment and assumes it repeats all year. The 30-day SEC yield was 3.05% on August 31, 2026, because it counts only dividends and interest after expenses, not option income.

None of these numbers is a promise. The trailing figure looks backward, and the distribution rate assumes one week’s payment will last a full year.

Big payouts do not guarantee big returns, because the share price can fall. YieldMax reports that from its launch on November 22, 2022 to August 31, 2026, TSLY returned 9.24% a year at net asset value, with payouts counted. The S&P 500 returned 20.54% a year over the same period. Over the year to August 31, 2026, TSLY returned 12.50% and the S&P 500 20.38%.

YieldMax estimates how much of each payment is return of capital, meaning money handed back rather than earned. For TSLY the estimate jumps around: across the eight payments from August 6 to September 24, 2026, it ranged from 0% to 100%. The final split for the year is set later and shown on your Form 1099-DIV, so check that rather than any single weekly estimate.

If the last year’s payments repeated exactly, $12,000 a year would take about $14,481 of TSLY, roughly 651 shares near $22.24.

That is a big if. TSLY’s yearly payout per share has fallen every year since 2023, so a figure based on the past year is likely to overstate the next one. The income calculator above lets you test lower amounts.

The YieldMax TSLA Option Income Strategy ETF started on November 22, 2022 and trades on NYSE Arca. Its gross expense ratio is 1.07% a year, or $107 on every $10,000.

As of Oct 13, 2026, TSLY yields about 82.87%, having distributed $18.43 per share over the trailing twelve months.

Its most recent payment was $0.2187 per share, which went ex-dividend on Oct 8, 2026 and paid on Oct 9, 2026.

Because TSLY pays a variable weekly distribution, the amount changes every period — its recent payments have ranged from $0.2062 to $0.23 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, TSLY 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.

TSLY applies a synthetic covered-call strategy to Tesla (TSLA), turning that stock’s volatility into a high weekly distribution. It was among the first YieldMax single-stock funds and illustrates the trade-off clearly: the strategy limits participation in sharp rallies while retaining downside exposure, so a high headline yield can sit alongside a falling share price. Model total return rather than yield alone, and keep the price-growth assumption conservative.

TSLY is a covered-call income etf from YieldMax that distributes weekly. Because dividend investing is about both income and the growth of that income, the calculator above lets you model three things independently for TSLY: 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.
