This projection holds the yield constant. Deciding whether that assumption is reasonable means looking at what drives the payout: the underlying company or holdings, their earnings outlook and volatility. Koyfin lets you compare that assumption with the stock's actual history and outlook.

How BIGY generates income
BIGY is a YieldMax Target 12 ETF that aims to deliver a 12% annualized distribution rate from a diversified portfolio of big 50 basket stocks. This is a more conservative approach than the standard YieldMax option income funds, prioritizing sustainable income over maximum yield.
The fund uses a combination of covered call writing and other options strategies on its portfolio holdings to generate the target 12% distribution. By targeting a lower rate than the high-yield YieldMax funds, the strategy retains more upside participation in the underlying stocks.
Distributions are paid monthly rather than weekly. This makes BIGY more comparable to traditional income ETFs like JEPI or SCHD in distribution frequency, while using the options-based approach YieldMax is known for.
About the BIGY Dividend Calculator
This BIGY dividend calculator projects how your position grows with and without DRIP (Dividend Reinvestment). Every input is prefilled with live BIGY data — current price, latest per-share distribution, detected payment frequency, and historical CAGR — so you can hit calculate immediately, or override any field to model your own assumptions.
The BIGY DRIP calculator runs two parallel scenarios: one where every distribution is reinvested into more BIGY shares, and one where distributions are taken as cash and never compounded. The gap between the two curves is the compounding premium — the extra wealth you build by letting BIGY dividends buy more shares over time. Extra monthly contributions, tax rates, and custom dividend growth rates are all supported, and every calculation runs in your browser with no additional API calls after page load.
Why this calculator is more accurate than most
Traditional DRIP calculators treat dividend-per-share and share-price as two independent quantities that grow at their own separate rates. That works fine for stocks like SCHD or KO, where management sets the payout and the stock price moves with the business. It breaks badly for option-income ETFs like MSTY, NVDY, or TSLY, where distributions are sourced from option premium on the underlying — meaning the dividend dollar is mechanically a fraction of NAV, not a separate variable. Let those two quantities compound independently and you get absurd outputs (trillion-dollar portfolios from $10K) because the implied yield silently grows to 400%+ as price collapses faster than the dollar dividend.
We solve this with two projection modes. Dividend Growth mode is the standard model — correct for dividend-growth stocks and traditional income ETFs. Yield-on-NAV mode (auto-selected when starting yield exceeds 20%) locks the forward yield and recomputes distributions each year asyield × current NAV, so as price falls, dividend-per-share falls proportionally. This matches the physics of option-income funds and produces realistic projections instead of fantasy numbers.
You can toggle between the two modes above the input form. For BIGY — a YieldMax option-income ETF — yield-on-NAV is the default and we recommend keeping it on.
The two levers that change results the most are the growth assumptions and the holding period. For a volatile, high-yield fund, a 0% or slightly negative growth assumption is usually more realistic than extrapolating a historical CAGR, because distribution levels often decay as implied volatility normalizes. For stable dividend ETFs and index funds, the 5Y CAGR is a reasonable baseline. The BIGY dividend history page shows every past payment in detail, and the total return analyzer strips out NAV erosion to show your real yield.
