Schwab Total Stock Market Index (SWTSX) Dividend History
DivTrkr holds 28 recorded SWTSX dividend payments, running from December 17, 1999 to December 12, 2025 — 27 calendar years. Together those payments total $2.52 per share. SWTSX has most often paid annually.
SWTSX has increased its payment rate for 3 consecutive complete years.
Over the last five complete years the SWTSX payment rate compounded at +3.2% a year, and +2.3% a year over the last ten. That is what the payments actually did; it is not a forecast.
Across 27 years of recorded history, SWTSX's payment rate has never fallen materially from one complete year to the next.
SWTSX is a fund, so its distribution is set from what the strategy earned in the period rather than by a board committing to a rate — payments move around by design. Only declines steeper than 25% are treated as material here, because smaller swings are routine rather than a change of policy.

How this growth is measured
Year-over-year growth here compares each year's median payment with the year before, not the calendar-year total. Ex-dividend dates drift, so a quarterly payer can book five ex-dates in one calendar year and four in the next. Comparing raw yearly totals would show a phantom cut of around 25% in a year where the company did nothing but pay slightly earlier. Using the median payment removes that distortion, and also ignores one-off special dividends.
Years marked “timing” booked a different number of payments than SWTSX's usual cadence, so their total is not directly comparable with neighbouring years.
