About VTI Dividends

This page shows the complete VTI dividend payment history, including ex-dates, payment dates, and per-share amounts. The chart above visualizes the trend of dividend payments over time, making it easy to spot increases, decreases, or irregular payouts.

Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) is issued by Vanguard. Tracks the CRSP US Total Market Index — approximately 100% of the investable U.S. stock market across large, mid, small, and micro caps on NYSE and Nasdaq. Vanguard's all-in-one U.S. equity ETF with $2.1T+ in combined ETF/mutual-fund assets. Expense ratio 0.03%, forward yield ~1.2%, quarterly distributions. More diversified than VOO (adds small/mid caps) but performance is nearly identical on a total-return basis since mega-caps dominate by weight.

Open the VTI projection tool to model how reinvesting these dividends would compound over time, or check the Total Return Analyzer to see the real yield after accounting for NAV changes.

VTI dividend history — frequently asked questions

How often does VTI pay dividends?▾
VTI pays dividends quarterly. The dividend history table and chart above show every payment VTI has made, with the ex-dividend date, payment date, and per-share amount. The ex-date is the cutoff — you must own VTI before the ex-date to receive that payment; buying on or after the ex-date means you get the next one instead.
What does the VTI dividend history chart show?▾
The chart plots the per-share amount of every dividend VTI has paid, oriented left-to-right from oldest to newest. A rising trend means distributions are growing; a falling trend means they are shrinking. For VTI, the current yield is roughly 1.02% on a trailing twelve-month basis. Pay attention to the shape of the curve — steady growth is a very different risk profile from a jagged curve with big month-to-month swings, which is common for options-income ETFs.
Are VTI dividends qualified or ordinary?▾
VTI distributions are primarily qualified dividends, taxed at the long-term capital gains rate (0%, 15%, or 20% for most US taxpayers). A small portion may be ordinary or return of capital in any given year; the exact split is on the 1099-DIV.
Why did VTI distributions change so much month to month?▾
Month-to-month changes in VTI can come from a few sources: timing of the payment relative to the ex-date calendar, special distributions, or shifts in the underlying portfolio. For most non-options-income ETFs, distributions are fairly predictable quarter-over-quarter, with occasional year-end special distributions.
Where does this VTI dividend data come from?▾
Dividend records are sourced from official issuer dividend calendars and cross-referenced against press releases. Ex-dates and payment dates are the official dates as reported. For YieldMax funds specifically, we also ingest the weekly announcement press releases — that is why YieldMax ticker pages show upcoming announcements.
