Microsoft Has Raised Its Dividend Every Year for More Than a Decade. History Provides Clues of How Big This Year's Raise Might Be.

Microsoft will pay its next quarterly dividend of $0.91 per share on Sept. 10, after the board declared it on June 10. The key date for dividend investors is the company’s annual pattern: Microsoft has raised its dividend every year for more than a decade, delivering 16 consecutive increases announced in September. The latest raise came on Sept. 15, 2025, lifting the payout from $0.83 to $0.91, just under 10%. Over the last six increases, growth stayed between 9.6% and 10.7%, and the quarterly dividend rose from $0.36 at end-2015 to $0.91 by end-2025. Based on that range, the next dividend could land around $1.00 to $1.01 per quarter, about $4.00 annually, likely announced in September.
