Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What is an expense ratio and how does it affect my returns?
An expense ratio is the annual fee charged by the ETF provider, expressed as a percentage of your investment. It reduces your overall returns because it's deducted from the fund's assets. For example, a 0.5% expense ratio on a $10,000 investment costs $50 annually.
How does dividend reinvestment work in this calculator?
The calculator assumes dividends are reinvested back into the ETF, compounding your returns. It calculates dividend income based on your dividend yield percentage and adds it to your investment balance annually, where it continues to earn returns.
What's the difference between total contributions and future value?
Total contributions represent the actual money you've invested (initial amount plus all monthly contributions). Future value is the total worth of your investment after accounting for returns, compounded interest, expense costs, and dividend reinvestment over the time period.
Can I use this calculator for other types of investments?
While designed for ETFs, this calculator works for any long-term investment with regular contributions, compound growth, and management fees. It's suitable for mutual funds, index funds, retirement accounts, and other similar investments.
