DEM Dividend Calculator
WisdomTree Emerging Markets High Dividend Fund distributes on no fixed schedule. Our DEM record covers 235 days, short of the twelve months a trailing payout needs, so the field below opens empty rather than part-filled.
Enter the share price you are paying to see the projection. We publish no price data, so this is the one figure the page cannot fill in for you.
Payout figures read from WisdomTree on Aug 18, 2026. You supply the share price. The DEM record page holds every payment behind these figures.
What the DEM Calculator Loads, and the Arithmetic Behind It
Our DEM record holds 4 payments between December 26, 2025 and June 25, 2026, totalling $1.4449 per share across 235 days. Worked on a round position, 1,000 shares collected $1,444.94 of cash over that stretch. That is a real figure for a real period, and it is not an annual dividend.
Turning it into one would mean multiplying by 1.55 to stretch 235 days to 365. The record argues against that. Splitting the window at April 22, 2026, the 3 payments before it averaged $0.2400 and the 1 after averaged $0.7250, a difference of 202%. Which end you scale from decides the answer, which is the definition of a figure the record does not support. The field stays empty and you enter the figure you want to model.
On the record we hold, a trailing twelve-month sum first becomes computable around December 26, 2026, assuming DEM keeps distributing on its current schedule. Until then the honest input is a number you chose and can explain. Every payment behind these totals is listed on the DEM record page.
What DEM's Schedule Does to the Model
DEM distributes on no fixed schedule. Our record shows 4 payments with gaps between ex-dates running from 5 to 91 days and a median of 85. The projection above assumes a repeating year with a fixed payment count, which is exactly what DEM does not have.
We put no number on the reinvestment-timing effect for DEM. Measuring it means running a year of payments through a reinvestment sequence, and our record covers 235 days across 4 payments. A figure computed on that and labelled first-year would be a year-shaped number that is not a year.
One term decides how far the annual step falls short, and for DEM it is 31.9%: a measure of how evenly the window's cash is split across its payments. A single lump scores zero, four equal payments 37.5%, twelve 45.8%, and fifty-two 49.0%. DEM sits below the even end, because its cash is concentrated into fewer or more unequal payments, and the annual step distorts less there than it would for a smooth stream.
Where DEM's Cash Actually Landed
The 8 complete calendar months ending Jul 2026, from DEM's recorded ex-dates, split-adjusted, as of 2026-08-18. Income is what 1,000 shares would have collected. A projection divides one annual figure by twelve; the record did this instead.
| Month | Payments | Per Share | On 1,000 Shares | Share of Window |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 2025 | 2 | $0.4849 | $484.94 | 33.6% |
| Jan 2026 | 0 | $0.0000 | $0.00 | 0.0% |
| Feb 2026 | 0 | $0.0000 | $0.00 | 0.0% |
| Mar 2026 | 1 | $0.2350 | $235.00 | 16.3% |
| Apr 2026 | 0 | $0.0000 | $0.00 | 0.0% |
| May 2026 | 0 | $0.0000 | $0.00 | 0.0% |
| Jun 2026 | 1 | $0.7250 | $725.00 | 50.2% |
| Jul 2026 | 0 | $0.0000 | $0.00 | 0.0% |
| 8 months | 4 | $1.4449 | $1,444.94 | 100.0% |
Jun 2026 was the largest month at $0.7250 per share, carrying 50.2% of the 8-month total on its own. 5 of the 8 months paid nothing at all, which is what a quarterly or occasional schedule looks like once a monthly income plan is laid over it.
Shares and Capital for a Monthly Income Target from DEM
We cannot compute this for DEM without inventing the input. Shares needed for a monthly target is that target times twelve divided by an annual payout per share, and our DEM record covers 235 days rather than a year, so there is no annual payout to divide by. The 4 payments we hold total $1.4449 per share, which is what those 235 days paid and nothing more. On the current schedule the missing arithmetic becomes available around December 26, 2026. Until then, enter your own annual figure in the calculator above and read its first-year income line, which is the same division performed on your assumption rather than on ours.
The Growth Input for DEM
There is no rate DEM's record supports, and this page will not invent one. Growth needs two complete calendar years of payouts, or two full years of coverage. Our DEM record starts 2025-12-26 and holds no complete calendar year yet across 4 payments. On the record we hold, the rolling comparison can first be computed on December 26, 2027 and the calendar-year comparison on January 1, 2028, so this figure fills in around December 2027 as long as DEM keeps distributing on its current schedule.
Leave the field at zero for the run you take seriously, which models DEM paying what it has paid, then run it again at a rate you can defend. The distance between the two answers is the part that came from you rather than from the record.
What Makes DEM Hard to Model
Each item is triggered by something computed from DEM's own record and carries the figure that triggered it.
DEM's record cannot supply a growth rate, so any rate you type is invented. A growth figure needs two comparable windows to set against each other, and our DEM record holds 4 payments from December 26, 2025 with no complete calendar year in them yet. One window is not a comparison. On our DEM record the earliest it can be filled is December 2027.
A single DEM payment is a bad basis for an annual figure. Across trailing twelve months the smallest DEM payment was $0.0720 on December 31, 2025 and the largest $0.7250 on June 25, 2026, a spread of 906%. DEM keeps no fixed payment count, so there is not even a multiplier that turns one of those payments into a year. Use a summed trailing figure rather than any one payment.
DEM's payments moved inside the window the model treats as one flat year. Splitting the 4 payments at April 22, 2026, the 3 before it averaged $0.2400 and the 1 after averaged $0.7250, which is 202% larger. The projection model has no way to represent a drift inside a year: it takes one annual figure and one growth rate. Feeding it a trailing total that spans both halves builds in a payout level that neither half actually paid.
5 of the last 8 months paid DEM holders nothing. The monthly income figure a projection implies is an annual total divided by twelve. On the record, DEM's cash arrived in 3 of 8 calendar months, with Jun 2026 the largest at $0.7250 per share. Anyone planning to spend the income needs the payment months, not the average, and the months are in the table above.
DEM distributes on no fixed schedule, so there is no payments-per-year to model. Our DEM record holds 4 payments between December 26, 2025 and June 25, 2026, with observed gaps between ex-dates running from 5 to 91 days. An annual-period projection assumes a repeating year. For a payer with no repeating year, the annual dividend field is a total you are choosing to expect rather than a rate the fund runs at.
Starting a DEM Projection Today
A projection books a full year of income in year one. Today is August 21, 2026, 233 days into 2026. DEM has already gone ex-dividend 2 times in 2026, for $0.9600 per share, and buying now collects none of it. DEM keeps no fixed schedule, so how many further payments this calendar year holds is not something the record can tell you.
Nothing further is declared for DEM on our record, so every payment inside the projection is a modelled one. Read year one as twelve months from your purchase date, not the rest of this calendar year.
Frequently Asked Questions
What annual dividend figure should I use for DEM?
None that we can hand you. Our DEM record starts December 26, 2025 and holds 4 payments totalling $1.4449 per share across 235 days, which is less than a year, so any annual figure would be that sum scaled by an assumption we have no basis for. The field opens empty on purpose. On the record we hold, a trailing twelve-month sum first becomes computable around December 26, 2026 if DEM keeps distributing on its current schedule.
What growth rate should I put in the DEM calculator?
Zero for the run you take seriously, then a second run at a rate you can defend out loud. DEM has no two comparable windows on our record, so there is no realised rate to offer you and we will not invent one. On our DEM record the earliest it can be filled is December 2027.
Are taxes included in the DEM projection?
No. Every figure the calculator produces is pre-tax and ignores trading costs. Fund distributions can carry components taxed differently from qualified dividends, and the split arrives with the year-end tax documents rather than with each payment.
Why does the DEM calculator ask me for the share price?
Because we publish no prices. Every figure here carries the date its source was read, and a live quote cannot. WisdomTree publishes no distribution rate for DEM that we could turn into an implied price by arithmetic, so the price field starts empty.
Every payment, split adjustment, and calendar-year total behind these figures is on the DEM dividend history page. Other irregular payers in coverage are on the coverage table. The general-purpose tools sit on the calculator hub, and the model is written out on the methodology page.
