VOO dividend questions
When is VOO's next ex-dividend date?
Not announced yet. Last year its December dividend went ex-dividend on Dec 22, 2025. This page is updated when it is.
How much does VOO pay in dividends?
The latest dividend was $1.8226 per share, with an ex-date of Monday, September 28, 2026. The last 4 dividends add up to $7.4282 per share.
How often does VOO pay dividends?
VOO pays quarterly, four times a year. Pays every quarter, in March, June, September and December.
Is it better to buy VOO before or after the ex-dividend date?
To get the next dividend you have to buy before the ex-date. That doesn't make it free money: with everything else held still, the price is expected to open lower on the ex-date by about the dividend, since new buyers no longer get it (the market moves the price too). Buying before or after mostly decides whether the next payment reaches you as cash, which in a taxable account is taxed that year. The Ex-Dividend Price Drop Calculator works it out for any price and dividend.
Do I get the VOO dividend if I buy on the ex-dividend date?
No. Shares bought on or after the ex-date don't get that dividend. You need to buy by the trading day before it. Selling on or after the ex-date keeps the dividend.
How many shares of VOO do I need to make $1,000 a month?
About 1,616 shares. $1,000 a month is $12,000 a year, and VOO's last 4 dividends came to $7.4282 a share: $12,000 ÷ $7.4282. For $500 a month it's about 808 shares, and for $2,000 a month about 3,231. The dividend changes, so the number does too; the calculator above shows what that many shares would cost at your price.
Has VOO raised its dividend every year?
Funds don't announce increase streaks the way companies do: a fund's payout follows what its holdings pay. In the table on this page (from 2016), VOO's yearly total went up 5 years in a row, 2021 to 2025.
