How this calculator works
For each start year, we apply the year-by-year total return of the S&P 500 Total Return to the entered starting amount, compounding annually with dividends reinvested at year-end. This mirrors what an actual buy-and-hold SPLG holder would have experienced, before fees and taxes. Expense ratio is intentionally excluded from the historical result to keep the underlying series comparable across ETFs; for a full lifetime fee estimate at 0.02%, use the projection tab in our fund fee analyzer.
