Forget Monthly Dividends, These 5 ETFs Pay Investors Every Week

For quite some time, dividends were paid monthly, quarterly, annually, or semi-annually.

Now, you can collect dividends every single week.

That’s great news for investors looking for regular income, particularly for retirees who need consistent cash flow coming in.

Look at the AAPL WeeklyPay ETF (BATS: AAPW), for example.

With an expense ratio of 0.99%, the ETF pays weekly distributions. As of May 12, 2026, its recent payout was $0.24, maintaining a high distribution rate of 31.46%. All of this is achieved by investing in total return swap agreements and Apple stock.

Making it even more attractive, it trades at a fraction of the cost of Apple, pays out a weekly dividend, and tracks the movements of Apple.

Here are five more you may want to consider.

NVDA WeeklyPay ETF

With an expense ratio of 0.99% and a weekly dividend, the NVDA WeeklyPay ETF (BATS: NVDW) also offers recurring income for shareholders. It just paid a dividend of $0.2088 for the week of May 12, 2026. While payments are variable, the fund continues to mirror the performance of Nvidia, which has remained a dominant market force throughout early 2026.

With NVDW, you can ride Nvidia’s momentum at a significantly lower entry price than the underlying stock, which has seen substantial price appreciation since 2025, while collecting consistent weekly income.

PLTR WeeklyPay ETF 

With an expense ratio of 0.99% and a weekly dividend, the PLTR WeeklyPay ETF (BATS: PLTW) continues to offer weekly income to shareholders. It recently paid a dividend of $0.2254 for the week of May 12, 2026. This ETF tracks Palantir, which analysts continue to favor as a core AI growth story.

Wedbush analyst Dan Ives has maintained high confidence in the stock through 2026, noting that Palantir’s results and guidance further solidify its leadership across federal and commercial AI landscapes.

TSLA WeeklyPay ETF

With an expense ratio of 0.99% and a weekly dividend payout, the TSLA Weekly Pay ETF (BATS: TSLW) invests in swap agreements and Tesla stock. It continues to provide an affordable way to gain exposure to Tesla’s volatility and growth, such as its recent robotaxi initiatives and price adjustments, without the $400-plus per share entry price of the actual stock.

Roundhill Top WeeklyPay ETF (TOPW)

Originally launched as WPAY and rebranded to TOPW in March 2026, this “fund of funds” provides a diversified approach to weekly income. It holds a basket of the top 25 WeeklyPay ETFs, offering a structural evolution in the niche for investors who prefer broad exposure over single-stock risk. The fund maintains an expense ratio of 0.99%, following contractual fee waivers in place through late 2026.

Weekly T-Bill ETF

We can also look at the Weekly T-Bill ETF (BATS: WEEK). With an expense ratio of 0.19% and a weekly dividend payout, the WEEK ETF is a low-risk opportunity that holds only T-Bills with maturities under 3 months, ensuring capital preservation. This remains a cornerstone for investors seeking a stable NAV week-over-week.

YieldMax AI & Tech Portfolio Option Income ETF 

There’s also the YieldMax AI & Tech Portfolio Option Income ETF (NYSEARCA: GPTY). With an expense ratio of 0.99% and a weekly dividend payout, the GPTY ETF seeks income and capital appreciation through a select portfolio of artificial intelligence and technology stocks. Its most recent distribution on May 7, 2026, was $0.3343, reflecting the ongoing strength of the AI sector.

Editor’s Note: This article has been updated as of May 2026 to replace outdated 2025 distribution figures with current performance data and payout values. We have also added information regarding the rebranding of TOPW and included a performance review of the single-stock ETF landscape to provide a more accurate outlook for investors today.
