Some of my stuff is paid the last few days of December each year but most are paid quarterly. MM yields are a little different.
You can also go to your last quarterly statement and see what you got that qtr and what you have made ytd.
They show a 30-day yield, so I could estimate the future quarterly dividend. But, I wouldn't know how to calculate the December capital gains distribution amount. They sure don't tell me what it is going to be in advance.
