2012 PFD
The size of this year's Permanent Fund Dividend is $878.
That's $296 lower than last year's total
of $1,174.
The commissioner said the main reason for that is the continued inclusion of 2009 in the five year average used to calculate the dividend.
He says the year that dropped out, 2008, was a pretty successful year. Fiscal Year 12 was added in which he says only made a couple hundred million dollars.
Butcher says as long as Fiscal Year '09, which lost billions of dollars, remains in the calculation the PFD will be a little lower.

He says next year's dividend will be the
last year that 2009 is part of the five year equation. It will be
replaced by the current year which the commissioner says has been a
pretty good year.
Assuming something catastrophic doesn't occur, the commissioner says the dividend should begin working its way back up.
Direct deposit and the mailing of this year's check is scheduled for Thursday, October 4.
