AMDY dividend & DRIP calculator

YieldMax AMD Option Income Strategy ETF

AMDY uses synthetic Advanced Micro Devices exposure and call spreads to pursue weekly income. AMD's volatility can support large premiums, but it also creates concentrated downside risk and payouts that can change quickly.

What this scenario says

Contributing $10,000 up front plus $250 a month for 1 years puts in $13,000 of your own money. Under these assumptions the position ends worth $28,782, averaging about $1,300 a month in gross distributions in its final year. That is a total gain of $15,782 (+121%) — about 138.3% a year, money-weighted, counting income and price together.

Fragile assumptionYour inputs imply roughly 90.4% per year in combined distributions and price growth, sustained for 1 years. Long-run outcomes that high are rare; treat this as an optimistic scenario.
NotePart of this fund type’s distribution is often classified as return of capital, which changes tax treatment and can reflect NAV erosion. Distribution rate is not the same as total return.
CautionMore than half of recent distributions were classified as return of capital (53%). The headline distribution rate overstates taxable income and may overstate economic yield.

Every rate above is held constant for the whole projection — real markets never do that. This is a scenario, not a forecast.

Risk & assumption notes

Option-income distributions are variable by construction. This page uses the fund’s recent payout trend as an editable default when enough weekly history exists; it is a scenario, not a forecast; the calculator models these weekly payouts as their monthly equivalent.
About 53% of trailing distributions were classified as return of capital: they lower your cost basis rather than being taxed as current income, and can accompany NAV erosion.
Covered-call strategies cap upside; comparing this fund’s distribution rate against an index fund’s total return is a category error.
Taxes are modeled as one flat rate on distributions — a simplification. Qualified dividends, ordinary income, and ROC are taxed differently. See methodology.

Questions people ask

Why does AMDY show a distribution rate of 89.4% but a SEC yield of 1.0%?

The distribution rate annualizes recent payouts; the SEC 30-day yield measures net investment income under a standardized formula. For option-income funds the gap is normal — premiums and return of capital can fund distributions well above earned income. Neither number is a forecast of total return.

Is AMDY's distribution guaranteed to continue at this level?

No. Its distributions depend on option premiums and market conditions, and funds like this have raised and cut payouts without notice. That's why this page's calculator includes a distribution-cut stress preset.

Can this page tell me whether to buy AMDY?

No — and it doesn't try. This is an educational scenario tool: it shows the arithmetic consequences of assumptions you choose. It makes no recommendations and no predictions.

Does a high AMDY distribution rate mean the fund earned that return?

No. The rate annualizes a recent cash distribution and does not include changes in NAV. Option income, return of capital, and movement in AMD exposure all affect the investor's actual total return.

Under these assumptions AMDY leads on both income and ending value. A clean sweep usually means the growth assumptions strongly favor one side — before reading anything into it, ask whether that side’s implied combined payout and price-growth assumptions over 10 years are realistic. Nudge the growth fields above and watch how fast the sweep disappears.

Both sides run the identical deposit schedule with DRIP on and taxes off (0% — set a rate above for taxable accounts). Growth defaults come from each fund’s own record where available (payout history; issuer-reported returns) — but history is not a forecast, and this is not a recommendation.
