About

Last updated Sep 8, 2026

PayoutCal answers one question for income investors: when do I get paid, and how much? We publish dividend and distribution histories, yields, growth rates, next ex-dividend and payment dates for thousands of US stocks and ETFs, a market-wide ex-dividend calendar, comparison pages, calculators and a free payday calendar that turns your holdings into a month-by-month income schedule.

Where the data comes from

Prices, dividend histories and fund facts are aggregated from public market data feeds and exchange calendars and refreshed daily. Derived figures such as trailing yield, growth rates, growth streaks, projected next dates and the payout risk heuristic are calculated by us from that data. Projected dates are labelled estimated; dates confirmed by the issuer are labelled declared.

How we make money

Three ways, all disclosed: a paid Pro plan (unlimited saved holdings and ex-date email alerts), affiliate links to brokers and research tools (marked "sponsored"; we may earn a commission at no cost to you), and display advertising on some pages. Advertisers and affiliates never influence the data or the rankings, which are computed by fixed rules.

What we are not

We are not a broker, an investment adviser or a tax adviser, and nothing on this site is a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Please read the disclaimer.
