$10,000 in SCHD pays about $25.30 a month — about $75.91 per check, paid quarterly, on roughly shares at $33.33 a share.
Two bases, and we headline the lower one. This page uses its latest declared payment at its own rhythm ($25.30 a month). The other basis, the last 12 months of payments, works out to $26.20 a month. SCHD paid $1.05 per share over the last 12 months (4 payments) and last declared $0.25 on June 24, 2026. When a fund's payments have fallen, the trailing year flatters it; when a fund has raised, the latest check runs ahead. The lower number is the one that doesn't oversell.

A monthly figure is only as good as the payment behind it. Over the last 12 months SCHD paid $1.05 per share against $1.03 the year before, a change of +2.2%. Annual totals per share: 2021 $0.75 · 2022 $0.85 · 2023 $0.89 · 2024 $1.00 · 2025 $1.05.
The figures above are what lands in your account: SCHD's 0.060% total expense ratio (Schwab Asset Management) comes out of the fund before it pays, so no extra fee is subtracted here. Your share count depends on price, and price moves: SCHD traded around $26.54 a year ago versus $33.33 now (+26%). A falling price would raise the yield while shrinking the capital behind it, which is the erosion an income buyer has to watch.
