Some S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) stocks could be very effective Investment choices for passive income. I'm going to talk about Premier Investments Limited (ASX: PMV) shares.
I think this ASX retail share has done a very good job of growing its earnings and dividend over the past decade. Its underlying businesses, like Smiggle and Peter Alexander, have performed well.
The higher earnings and profitability have helped the Premier Investments share price increase by almost 100% over the last five years.
How to make $750 monthly passive income from Premier Investments shares
While hardly any ASX stocks pay dividend income monthly, we can easily divide an annual amount equally into 12 to work out the monthly figure.
To make $750 a month, we need to generate $9,000 of annual passive dividend income.
In FY23, according to Commsec, Premier Investments is expected to pay an annual dividend per share of $1.05, not including the effect of franking credits. That's a cash dividend yield of 3.85%.
If we owned 8,572 Premier Investments shares, then we'd receive $9,000 of annual passive income of dividends in cash. The franking credits would be a bonus on top of that.
The current Commsec forecast for Premier Investments suggests that the dividend could be increased to $1.06 per share in FY25. At the current Premier Investments share price, that suggests the ASX 200 stock could pay a FY25 cash dividend yield of 3.9%.
If we use the FY25 payout, investors would need to own 8,491 Premier Investments shares to receive $9,000 of annual dividends.

Premier Investments added that it had managed its logistics program effectively and was "fully prepared" for the trading ahead. It also said that it was "well positioned to take full advantage of the current momentum through the remaining critical first half trading periods of Christmas, Boxing Day and 'back to school',
Going back to school is an important time because of Premier Investments' global school accessories business called Smiggle, which is driving a lot of the overall growth that the company is experiencing.
