Vanguard S&P 500 ETF is a fund that pays quarterly distributions. Its most recent distribution was $1.82 per share, with an ex-date of September 28, 2026 and a pay date of September 30, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $7.43 per share, a yield of about 1.05% at a share price of $707.45.

The amount changes from one distribution to the next. In the table, it ranged from $1.37 in March 2022 to $1.96 in June 2026. The last four distributions were between $1.77 and $1.96. The December distribution was the largest of the year in 2022 and 2023, but not in 2024 or 2025, so there is no fixed seasonal pattern. Distributions by calendar year added up to $5.94 in 2022, $6.36 in 2023, $6.70 in 2024 and $7.06 in 2025. That is a rise of about 19% over three years. The source counts a growth streak of five consecutive calendar years. Payment usually follows the ex-date within a few days.

If the pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in late December 2026 and be paid a few days later.
