Project how a $10,000 investment could grow in any ETF we cover, compounding its own historical average return, or put two funds on the same chart. Pick the funds, the averaging period, and how long you’d stay invested.
Pre-built growth-of-$10,000 tables for the most-searched funds.
We compute each fund’s trailing 3-, 5- and 10-year annualized total returns from adjusted daily closes, with dividends reinvested and net of the fund’s expense ratio. The projection simply compounds $10,000 at that constant rate: after n years it equals $10,000 × (1 + rate)n. Real markets are far bumpier. Returns arrive unevenly, and the sequence matters if you add or withdraw money along the way.
Use it to build intuition for compounding and to compare funds on a common footing, not to predict an outcome. You can check any fund’s underlying returns on its fund page or read the full methodology.
