QQQI Ex-Dividend Date & Dividend Calculator

NEOS Nasdaq 100 High Income ETF (QQQI) is an ETF that funds its dividend through covered-call option premium, paying a monthly distribution at a yield of not published. In exchange for a high payout, upside is capped and there's a risk of NAV erosion. Evaluate it on long-run total return (dividend + price), not short-term income alone.

The distribution amount is a variable-dividend structure that changes month to month with option-market volatility, so past yield does not guarantee future payments. Before investing, read the covered-call ETF risk guide and the complete dividend-types guide.

Product structure — QQQI is an ETF generating income by selling Nasdaq-100 options — an index-wide options overlay rather than a single-stock bet.

Payout mechanics — QQQI pays monthly at a current yield of not published (as of 2026.09.09); payments has stayed very stable payment to payment (variability score 0.03). QQQI's recent payments haven't varied enough to trigger the variable-dividend classification. Index-level option selling generally caps the upside less abruptly than a single-stock version would. The per-payment amount is about $0.6520, paid roughly 12 times a year. This figure is recalculated every period, so it isn't guaranteed to hold going forward — it's a reference point based on past payment history. None of this replaces doing your own homework on QQQI — the $0.6520 figure is a starting point, not the final word.

Risk to watch — Treat the headline yield as compensation for giving up upside, not as a free bonus — QQQI's structure trades one for the other by design. 2026-09-16 is a projection based on past payment gaps, not an actual company announcement. Worth reading first: the covered-call ETF risk guide, and worth checking after: the 5-year simulator. When making decisions about QQQI, it's safer to treat the $0.6520 figure above as one reference among several rather than the sole basis.

Summary — The official name is NEOS Nasdaq 100 High Income ETF. Simply annualizing the $0.6520 per-payment amount at a monthly cadence (12x/year) works out to about $7.82 a year — that's pure arithmetic assuming the current payment holds steady, not a forecast. Taken together with the card above, the fact that QQQI's payments has stayed very stable payment to payment (variability score 0.03) rounds out the picture. As always, treat every figure here as a point-in-time snapshot. None of this replaces doing your own homework on QQQI — the $0.6520 figure is a starting point, not the final word.

A note on the yield figure — The dividend yield reported by our data provider for this ticker diverges sharply from its actual payment amount and cadence, so we're not displaying it. Leaving it blank is better than showing a number we believe is wrong. For reference, backing it out from the per-payment amount and payment cadence implies roughly 14.3%, though that figure is also unverified and not shown above. The payment amount, cadence, and ex-dividend date in the card above remain accurate and unaffected.
