How to receive a August dividend

A company pays its dividend to everyone who owned the shares before the ex-dividend date. The pay date, when the cash arrives, usually comes two to four weeks later.

For dividends paid in August, the ex-dividend date most often falls in August, and sometimes in July. To be paid, buy the shares by the close on the trading day before the ex-dividend date. Each company's page shows its exact dates.

The ex-dividend calendar lists every upcoming date, and the monthly income guide shows how to combine the three quarterly schedules so a dividend arrives every month.
