How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As An Equity Residential Investor?

If you want to make $100 per month — $1,200 annually — from Equity Residential dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $30,691, which is around 445 shares at $68.97 each. 

Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When making an estimate, you need two key variables — the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (3.91% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0391 = $30,691 to generate an income of $100 per month.

You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the current price of the stock.

The dividend yield can change over time. This is the outcome of fluctuating stock prices and dividend payments on a rolling basis.

For instance, assume a stock that pays $2 as an annual dividend is priced at $50. Its dividend yield would be $2/$50 = 4%. If the stock price rises to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). A drop in stock price to $40 will have an inverse effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2/$40).

In summary, income-focused investors may find Equity Residential stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 445 shares of stock.
