Value at a flat price assumes the share price stays at $18.32, the Oct 16, 2026 close, in every year. It is an assumption, not a forecast: prices move, and this column shows only what dividends and new money add. No taxes or fees are taken out. A fund's distributions can include a return of capital, which our data does not separate, and a fund that pays out a large share of its price can see that price fall over time; this page holds the price flat.

How the calculator works
The share price is held flat at the Oct 16, 2026 close in every year. Money added each month buys shares at the end of each payment period. No taxes, fees or commissions are taken out.
Year one starts from the trailing twelve months' distributions, $2.13 a share over 12 payments to Oct 16, 2026, split into equal monthly payments. The latest monthly payment, $0.18, runs at $2.12 a year.
The growth rate starts at 0%, so the projection repeats the trailing twelve months' total; edit it to test your own view.
Monthly dividend income
The dividends in the final year are divided by twelve to give the monthly figure under them; it is an average, since a quarterly payer pays four times a year.
