How To Make $500 a Month In Dividends

[@garthnewman5859]

4k in dividends pm is fantastic! Did you use property to raise the capital? I'm guessing your stock portfolio is worth around 900k - 1 mil to get those returns. My goal is retire early live off dividends. It's great to see someone who's actually done it 🙂

[@HAIRYBIKER777]

ETFs pay quarterly distributions, with very few exceptions. I don't think any pay monthly.

[@warhawksmemories3071]

Cheers have a similar list too and enjoying it. MTS I might put in for January but not at this stage still have COF

[@hairypawter8475]

no offence, im very new to all this investment stuff, but why would i buy divident stocks with risk at 5.0% when the monthly interest on a high yields savings account is 5.5%? am i missing something. Addicted to your channel by the way

[@TraceyEdwards]

5% p.a. is for the dividend income. You'll also get capital growth on top of that, which for the ASX200 has averaged 9%'ish. High yield savings accounts are good too if you can find a yield high enough.

[@hairypawter8475]

@@TraceyEdwards I see, I think im sold on divident stocks, I was going to put 100k into HYSAs, but instead I think ill aim for a divident stock portfolio. Many thanks

[@backinthetime1528]

Hello Tracy, love your videos!! What are the fees for these twi betashares ETFs?

[@meowmeow1stgen668]

Loving your channel! I need info lol so, if the dividends are only partially franked, what does that mean? Also, do we need to set aside money for capital gains and stamp duty? Is that still even a thing?

[@TraceyEdwards]

So glad to hear you are enjoying my channel! So, stamp duty doesn't apply (that's only for buying/selling property). Capital gains/losses are only calculated when you sell your shares. If you held your shares forever you wouldn't have to pay anything. But if you sell, you pay CG tax on the profit that you made. Dividends are taxed as income in Australia. Some dividends already have tax paid on them by the company. The company rate of tax is 30%. If the dividends are fully franked, the whole 30% tax has been paid. Partially franked means some of that tax has been paid (it'll say what % if it's partially franked). What that means for you, is that at tax time, you don't have to pay that amount of tax on those dividends (because the company has already paid it). It does depend on your own personal tax rate though. If your tax rate is higher than 30% then you only pay tax on the amount above 30%, if your tax rate is less than 30% then you'll get a refund on the tax that has been paid. It sounds more confusing than it is, but when you buy shares, depending on who you trade through, you'll get the information that you have to give the tax office from them so you don't have to work it out yourself. Hope that helps!

[@meowmeow1stgen668]

Thank you so much :-) I do pay over 30% tax already so I would have to see with my accountant how much money to with hold. I probably wouldn’t need the dividends as income at this point in time anyway, but it’s nice to know. Thank you for your detailed response.

[@elizabethwebb8066]

Hi Tracy, can I get a copy of the companies that you listed in this video. Great content thank you.

[@puneeth5]

Is it possible with ETFs to reach a goal of $500/month in dividend Income??

[@jimcairns1633]

Hi Tracey, Is there a dividend stock that pays every 2 or 5 years ? I don't want any more taxable income and rather reinvest heavily for the next 2 - 5 years. Is this possible at all?

[@TraceyEdwards]

I don't know any dividend stocks that withhold payments for that long. Pity, I understand your tax frustration.

[@brittanyaggett2824]

[@mikelamonaca8104]

Tracey, what is the capital invested to get $4000 per month in dividend? Thank you

[@TraceyEdwards]

It depends entirely on the dividend yield that the company pays, but generally aiming for a 5% yield, you'd be looking at above $900-$950K for $4000 per month

[@mikelamonaca8104]

thank you for your reply and thank you for your service, you have inspired me. I use a slightly method than yours. I build my portofolio slowly during the last couple of years and I presume next year I will be gaining around 10% including credits and the odd capital gain. As yourself I buy for life but when the fundamentals changes especially in debt/equity I sell at the best opportunity.

Love your content Tracey, you pack a lot valuable information in to each video. I noticed the asx 200 fell in value today. Silly question, but I'll ask anyway, can I buy at the lower price until midnight, or do values drop at a certain times of the day?

[@TraceyEdwards]

Buying now will mean you'll get whatever price it opens at on Monday as you need a buyer and seller for a trade to go through and that only happens when the market is open. You can put a limit order in now, that's where you specify a maximum price that you are willing to pay, and if that price hits on Monday it'll go through. :)

love this video Tracey, but i just have a question about how do I set up as reinvest my dividends into stock instead of paying it to my bank account.

[@uoshva]

Check the website that company is with usually computershare, link market services or boardroom. Then you register your share and set up the dividend reinvestment plan. Not sure if you use commsec but it’s under the dividend tab when you are on the company page

[@HAIRYBIKER777]

Yes, you'll need an account with whichever company is looking after the stock. That's how you provide your TFN, address and all sorts of other things, including whether you want to be in the DRP for the stock.

[@XInfinity2024]

Not all stocks / ETFs offer DRIP so you will have to look at it for each one that you want to turn drip on

[@robertoh.20]

Tracey, do you only choose fully franked dividend paying companies?

[@TraceyEdwards]

I prefer fully franked, but I do have some companies that don't have franking

[@brentonasmith]

Hi Tracey, I recently watched your video on Vanguard ETFs, here you mention a distribution of 14 stocks and 2 ETFs. What percentage do you have for your ETFs, I am thinking 50-75% myself so am interested in your approach and opinion. Thank you I am Enjoying your videos.

[@XInfinity2024]

The % of each stock and or ETF is based on your needs. What is good for her or someone else might not be good for you and some people are willing to put more money into stocks while other people would prefer to put more into ETFs over stocks. As she has said in the video "do your own research" I am not a financial advisor nor a tax professional so everything I say is not financial advice.

[@Phl-ou6vn]

Tracey, your still working too hard. Here in the states using the NYSE, you can make $500 easily with half of $120,000 and a return of close to $1,000 a month with a mix of value and growth stocks since covid started. Just saying,..... The stock market here in the states just brings with it a higher standard of living. You might want to try buying some American companies in your portfolio 'cause we love Australians and want them to share the wealth!😉😉

I'm just starting out and I love your videos! I have a question: With the trading platform I use, I don't pay brokerage fees if I keep keep the investments for longer than a year, and it's only $9.50 per trade. In my case, is it a good idea to invest each time I get to $500, instead of waiting till I get to $1000?

[@emperorpatrisia5771]

I have thought the same thing. I’m thinking I’ll start investing $500 a fortnight rather than $1000 a month because I tend to throw $1000 in savings and keep it there instead of investing it.

[@DANIEL-ls5ku]

The $9.50 is the brokerage fee, if you keep shares longer than a year you don’t pay capital gains tax.

[@XInfinity2024]

@@DANIEL-ls5ku That is not good advice because it will be different for other places. Where I live you can have a stock for 10 years and you must still pay capital gains tax. Always talk to a licensed tax professional in your local area for proper information.

You can either open a trust which you'll need a solictor for, or just start a portfolio in your own name (yes it will occur tax under your name though) and once they turn 18 or whatever age you choose, transfer it over to them. An ETF is a good choice for this.

If you do your tax return through MyGov, it's all pre-filled for you. Assuming your shares are fully franked, just subtract 30 from your marginal income tax rate and that's the tax %age you'll have to pay on the dividends. A negative number means you'll get a refund.

how long did it take you to build up to 60k a year in passive income through dividends?

[@jd3shaw]

I have no debt and can earn more than this passively. I could potentially move out to the country where things are cheaper and live like this indefinitely. But is this really a good thing for society as a whole? Having someone of relatively young working age basically out of the work force because they can? I'm not saying everyone has to have a 9-5 and work in corporate servitude but perhaps there is a middle ground? Fundamentally I don't think dividends should exist at all and definately not franking credits.

This massive goverment debt will have to be paid eventually and they'll come for franking credits as one of the first targets imo
