How to use the YMAX dividend calculator

YMAX is a fund-of-funds option-income strategy. Enter an investment amount to estimate shares and cash flow, then enter a monthly target to work backward to the shares and capital that target would require.

The two yield choices answer different questions. The current distribution rate annualizes a recent payment; trailing yield summarizes the last 12 months. Its weekly payouts and high annualized rate are highly variable. Test more than one rate instead of treating either figure as a forecast.

Important limits

Monthly income is an annual average, not a promise of equal payments.
The share estimate uses a reference price and does not model trading costs.
Tax results use one simplified rate and are not tax advice.
Use total return, risk, and distribution history alongside current yield.

Review YMAX details, its distribution history, and the yield definitions guide before relying on an annualized estimate.
