How This Calendar Works (and Why It Doesn't Go Stale)
Most dividend calendars are lists someone typed and forgot to update. This one rebuilds itself on every visit: it pulls each fund's complete live payment history, measures its actual rhythm — weekly payers every ~7 days, monthly payers every ~30 — and projects the next ex-dividend date from the most recent one. When a fund pays, the calendar moves itself forward. No stale rows, no hand-editing.
The honest limitation: these are expected windows, not announcements. Funds set exact dates only shortly before each payout, and any fund can shift its schedule. Weekly and monthly payers usually land within a day or two of the projection; use the fund's own press releases for to-the-day precision on a specific payment.
The Ex-Dividend Date, in Plain English
The ex-dividend date is the cutoff: own shares before it and the payment is yours; buy on or after it and that payment belongs to the seller. (The money itself lands a few days later, on the payment date.) One classic beginner mistake this calendar helps avoid: buying a fund the day after it goes ex-dividend and waiting a full cycle for the first check. Another classic mistake it can't fix: buying just for the dividend — share prices typically drop by roughly the payout amount on the ex-date, so there's no free money in timing it. Our guide What Are Dividends? covers the mechanics.
