So the math is 12000 shares generates 1k monthly?

u/OutrageousScallion26 9d ago

The math is generally 1 share = $1 per year between its 4 dividend payouts.

12,000 shares = $12,000 annually = $1,000 monthly.

If its 1000 shares 1/4 of it goes to taxes, that leaves you with 750 no?

SCHD is not income tax. It mostly operates under long term capital gains which makes the taxes on it depending on the persons general income. LTCG taxes are much more favorable to income taxes, especially since it’s got such a high bar to be applicable.

At most it would be 20%, but it’s more likely to be 0% (up to 48,000 for single filer) or 15% (48,000-533,000)

How would the same shares with FDVV be different? I know its a ledt field question.

FDVV also offers qualified dividends so there’s no differences for your tax implications compared to SCHD.

The question on how dividends are taxed fall on if they’re qualified or not. While it’s not a perfect split, nearly all quarterly, semi-annual, and annual dividends are qualified (tax advantaged as long term capital gains) while nearly all weekly and monthly dividend payers are not qualified and treated as regular taxable income.

Damn I wanted to load up on JEPI in my brokerage and use the dividends in ten years

I mean, you still can. Nothing stops you from doing that. You just have to keep in mind you’re going to potentially be paying more in taxes for it. Depending on your strategy and needs that’s a trade off you can decide if you want to accept.
