Checking today's declarations…
Want the next batch emailed to you?
YieldMax announces in groups — Group 1 on one day, Group 2 on another, Group 3 on a third. Tell us which group you hold and you get those amounts the morning they land, each one next to that fund's own recent pace. One email per announcement, nothing else.
Saved in this browser only. There is no account, nothing is sent to us, the list will not follow you to another device, and it is gone if you clear your browsing data. The same list is used by the paycheck calendar. If you want a list that survives that, our $14 tracker is a spreadsheet you keep — your holdings and every check you log, in a file we never see.

One soft check is not a cut. Most of the funds in red above will be back up next time, and we do not email about those. We email when a fund's payments fall into a sustained downtrend and it falls while its issuer's other funds do not — the distinction between a bad week for the category and something happening to your fund.
One plain email when that happens, with the fund's recent run and how its stable moved the same day. Nothing weekly, nothing promotional.
Not sure what a declaration or a distribution actually is? Start with what an ETF is and how the money reaches you, in plain English. The ex-date column is the one that decides whether a payment reaches you: own the shares before it and the money is yours, buy on the day itself and it goes to the seller.
Amounts and announcement dates come from YieldMax's own distribution tables, so a new check appears here the day it is declared — typically 1 day before its ex-date and 2 before it is paid. YieldMax splits these 60 funds into 3 weekly groups plus a monthly Target 12 set, so a given week brings several separate announcements rather than one. Their site publishes them one fund page at a time, with no single view of all 60; this board is that view. Type your share count into the income calculator to turn any amount into your check. That is one check; for the running total behind it — every check you log, and what the shares cost you across several buys — we sell a $14 spreadsheet.

First Trust brought out six single-stock income ETFs the week of September 22, 2026 — its stated inception date, though they reached the tape on the 23rd and 24th — each with a 0.85% expense ratio, on six underlyings where a YieldMax fund already operates. If you hold the YieldMax side, these are now the direct alternatives:
| Stock | The new fund | The YieldMax fund |
|---|---|---|
| AMD | XVAD | AMDY |
| AMZN | XVAZ | AMZY |
| GOOG | XVGL | GOOY |
| MSFT | XVMS | MSFO |
| META | XVMT | FBY |
| PLTR | XVPT | PLTY |
There is nothing to compare on yield yet: the new funds have paid nothing, and their fund pages do not state a distribution frequency, so any yield quoted for them is an estimate rather than a record. What can be checked is the YieldMax side — each link above opens that fund's full payment history, with its trailing totals and year-over-year change recomputed from the record rather than quoted from this page. Roundhill also runs WeeklyPay funds on most of these names (AMDW, GOOW, MSFW, METW, PLTW), built on leverage rather than option premium.
How the Announcement Rhythm Works
YieldMax runs its distributions on a steady weekly machine: amounts are declared early in the week, and in our payment records most funds' ex-dates land on Thursdays — the monthly-cadence funds rotate through their groups while the weekly payers (ULTY, YMAX, LFGY and their siblings) repeat every single week. The issuer announces exact figures only days before each payout, which is why holders search for the numbers every week — and why this board recomputes from live payment records on every visit instead of quoting a stale schedule.
Which YieldMax Group Is Announcing Today?
YieldMax splits its funds into distribution groups, and every fund in a group declares on the same day and goes ex-dividend on the same day. That is why a holder normally wants one group rather than the whole list: if you hold Group 2 funds, Group 1's announcement tells you nothing about when your own check lands. The grouping below is read from YieldMax's own distribution schedule, and the filter above narrows both tables to a single group.
The split is lopsided, which is the part worth knowing. The issuer's table currently puts — funds in Group 1, — in Group 2 and — in Group 3, so — of the — funds on this board declare on the same day as each other.
One honest caveat, because these funds swing by design: a bigger check this week is not a raise and a smaller one is not a cut unless the trend holds. Option premium moves with volatility, so sizeable single-week swings are normal: in the most recent batch 10 of 59 funds moved 20% or more against their own previous check, and the median move was 7.8%. The change column here compares each amount to the same fund's previous check; for whether a move is a wobble or a trend, the fund's full payment history and the live cut & raise board settle it. And since most of this roster now pays every seven days, the weekly dividend ETFs directory lists every weekly payer we track with its nightly health grade.
Every fund in a YieldMax group declares on the same day, so one email covers your whole position. Pick the group you hold and we'll send the amounts the morning they're announced, each one measured against that fund's own recent pace. One email per announcement, nothing else, and you can pick the whole board instead if you hold across groups.
Shares × the declared amount = your check. The Dividend Income Calculator does it for every fund you hold and remembers them on a running tape — free, no signup.
One fund at a time
Holding one or two of these rather than the whole lineup? Each page below carries just that fund's newest declared amount, and reads it against every other YieldMax fund that declared on the same day — which is the difference between a fund being cut and the whole group moving with volatility.
- CHPY dividend announcement (Group 1)
- GDXY dividend announcement (Group 2)
- MSTY dividend announcement (Group 2)
- NVDY dividend announcement (Group 2)
- PLTY dividend announcement (Group 2)
- ULTY dividend announcement (Group 1)
- YMAG dividend announcement (Group 1)
- YMAX dividend announcement (Group 1)
Frequently Asked Questions
What did YieldMax announce today?
The board above shows the newest declared amounts across all 60 funds, refreshed from real payment records on every visit. If a declaration was posted this morning, it appears here as soon as it reaches the record — usually the same day or the next morning.
When does YieldMax announce dividends?
The issuer publishes its own schedule, and the pattern in our records is steady: amounts declared early in the week, ex-dates mostly on Thursdays, weekly payers repeating every week. Exact figures exist only days in advance — nobody can quote next week's amount today, and anyone who does is guessing.
Why did my fund pay less than last time?
Variable payers move with option premium, which moves with volatility. Check the fund's row above for the size of the change, then its full history page for the trend. Our statistics board flags genuine multi-week slides and separates them from routine wobble.
Do you track funds beyond YieldMax?
Yes — the payment histories readers look up most often here: QQQI dividend history, SPYI dividend history, BTCI dividend history, TLTW dividend history, SGOV ex-dividend dates, SCHD ex-dividend dates, and PSEC dividend history — each charted from its first recorded payment, with the same nightly health grade. The full roster lives at payment histories.
