Your Monthly Dividend Income
Annual Income
Dividend Per Share
How this calculator works:
• Annual income = shares × price × yield
• Monthly income = annual income ÷ 12 (XEQT distributes monthly; the amount varies)
• The projection assumes the price stays at the value you entered, so each monthly contribution buys the same number of shares, and the yield stays constant
• Distributions are assumed to be paid out in cash, not reinvested
• Illustration only — distributions vary and are not guaranteed; past performance doesn't guarantee future results

How XEQT dividend income works
XEQT holds thousands of dividend-paying stocks from around the world, and those dividends flow through to you as distributions. The fund pays them out monthly, which is why this calculator leads with a monthly figure: for a lot of investors, a monthly paycheque is the whole point.
Three things control how much you get: how many shares you own, the price of each share, and the yield — the annual distributions expressed as a percentage of the price. Change any one of them above and the income moves. That is also why the yield field is yours to set: XEQT's distributions rise and fall with the companies it holds, so no calculator can promise you a fixed yield. Enter the yield you want to model, and treat the result as an illustration, not a guarantee.
What affects your monthly income
More shares, more income. Income scales linearly with share count, which is what makes a monthly contribution habit so powerful: every contribution buys shares that pay you every month from then on. The projection table above shows that compounding in slow motion — the same monthly amount buys the same number of shares each year at a flat price, and each year's new shares add their own income on top.
Price cuts both ways. A lower price means each contribution buys more shares, which means more future income — but it also means your existing shares are worth less. The projection holds the price flat to keep the math honest; in reality the price moves, which changes how many shares each contribution buys.
Yield moves. If the companies in the fund pay out more, your income rises without you doing anything; if they pay out less, it falls. That variability is the trade-off for a monthly income stream from equities rather than a fixed GIC rate.
Common questions
Is XEQT's yield guaranteed?
No. Distributions depend on the dividends paid by the thousands of companies XEQT holds, and those change over time. The yield you enter here is an assumption you control, not a promise from the fund.
How often does XEQT pay?
XEQT distributes monthly. The monthly figure above is simply the annual income divided by 12; the actual amount in any given month will vary with that month's distribution.
Do I pay tax on XEQT dividends?
It depends on the account. Inside a TFSA, withdrawals are tax-free. In a non-registered account, distributions are taxable, and the tax treatment depends on the character of each distribution. This calculator shows income before tax; it is general information, not tax advice.
What if I reinvest my distributions (DRIP)?
Reinvesting buys more shares, and those shares pay you too — so your income grows faster than the cash-payout projection above shows. This calculator assumes cash payouts to keep the math transparent; a DRIP version would show higher future income for the same contributions.
