June 2026 Dividend Income Report – Strong €3,312 Gross, Halfway Through the Year

 

  June has flown by, and July is nearly over — time for the mid-year dividend update.

In June 2026, my portfolios delivered a gross total of €3,311.73 ($3,838.99) in dividends and distributions. After withholding taxes, the net amount received was €2,450.59 ($2,840.67).

That breaks down to:

• €81.69 per day
• €3.40 per hour

…reliable passive income rolling in.

Year-over-Year Comparison

Compared to June 2025 (net €2,176.31), this is a solid increase of €274.28 or +12.6 %.The growth was helped by the normal payment timing of NN Group (NN.AS), which arrived in June this year.

First Half of 2026 & Cumulative Progress

This month pushed my all-time cumulative net dividend income to €218,419.66

2026 Target Update

Halfway through the year, I’ve reached 53.9 % of my €24,500 net passive income goal. The portfolio is performing well, though exchange rate movements (EUR vs USD/CAD) will still have a big say in the final outcome.

Final Thoughts

A strong June helped push the first half well above last year’s pace. The portfolio keeps improving through new additions, position increases in quality names, and organic dividend growth — even after a couple of expected cuts.The second half of 2026 is looking promising. I’ll be back at the end of July with the next update.

Happy investing and enjoy the summer!

Disclosure: I hold long positions in all the above-mentioned stocks and ETFs except the exited KHC and KTB.
