How this calculator works
Shares bought is investment ÷ price. The dividend per share per payment is
price × yield ÷ 100 ÷ payments per year (12 for SPHD). For every payment the
calculator pays shares × dividend per share; with DRIP on it buys
payment ÷ current price more shares, and any annual contribution is split evenly across
the year's payments and also buys shares. The growth assumptions are converted to a per-payment rate so
that they compound to the annual figure you enter. Break-even is the first month at which the
dividends received so far reach 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the capital contributed to that point,
simulated out to 50 years. Yield on cost is the year's dividends divided by total capital contributed.
FAQ
- How much does SPHD pay per share?
- As of 15 September 2026 the reference figures from StockAnalysis were a 4.77% trailing-twelve-month yield at a share price of $51.27, which works out to about $2.45 per share a year, paid monthly (roughly $0.20 per month). ETF distributions change with the income of the underlying holdings, so check the issuer's latest declaration before relying on it.
- How many SPHD shares would it take to earn $1,000 a month?
- At the reference yield of 4.77% you would need about 4,907 shares, roughly $251,572 at $51.27 a share, to receive $12,000 a year. Set the initial investment to that amount in the calculator to see the projection. A higher yield needs fewer shares; a lower yield needs more.
- What does the DRIP toggle change?
- With DRIP on, each distribution buys more SPHD shares at the then-current price, so the next payment is slightly larger; the projection compounds 12 times a year. With DRIP off the distributions are counted as cash income and the share count only changes through your annual contributions.
- Does the calculator account for SPHD's 0.3% expense ratio?
- Not separately. SPHD's expense ratio of 0.3% is deducted inside the fund before distributions are paid, so a yield based on actual distributions is already net of it. The price-growth assumption is your own; if you model total return, remember the expense ratio is a drag on it.
