Understanding the TSLY Dividend Calculator

The YieldMax TSLA Option Income Strategy ETF (TSLY) is an actively managed fund that seeks to generate monthly income by selling synthetic covered call options on Tesla, Inc. (TSLA). Because TSLY's payouts fluctuate significantly based on the implied volatility of Tesla's stock, using a dedicated TSLY dividend calculator is essential for income investors.

How to Estimate Your TSLY Income

To use the calculator effectively, you need three primary data points:

• Share Count: The total number of TSLY shares you currently hold or plan to purchase.
• Monthly Dividend Estimate: Since TSLY does not pay a fixed amount, you can use the most recent distribution or an average of the last three months. These typically range significantly based on Tesla's market performance.
• Average Cost: This allows the calculator to determine your Yield on Cost (YOC), which represents the dividend yield relative to your original investment price rather than the current market price.

Factors Influencing TSLY Payouts

Unlike traditional dividend stocks, TSLY generates cash through option premiums. Several factors impact the monthly distribution:

1. Implied Volatility (IV): Higher volatility in TSLA stock usually leads to higher option premiums, which can translate to larger dividends for TSLY holders.
2. Price Action: While TSLY aims to provide income regardless of direction, sharp downward movements in Tesla can lead to NAV (Net Asset Value) erosion, potentially impacting future distributions.
3. Option Decay: The fund utilizes time decay (theta) to capture premium from the options it writes.

TSLY Dividend Example

If you own 1,000 shares of TSLY and the fund announces a monthly distribution of $0.65 per share:

• Monthly Income: 1,000 * $0.65 = $650.00
• Annualized Income: $650 * 12 = $7,800.00
• If your average purchase price was $15.00, your indicated annual yield would be 52%.

Note: TSLY dividends are often classified as Return of Capital (ROC) or ordinary income. Consult with a tax professional to understand how your distributions will be taxed based on your specific financial situation.
