Formula

Net Return = Annual Return - Expense Ratio + Dividend Yield, Shares = (Investment - Brokerage) / Price

Percentage: The percentage value you want to apply

Number: The original number or value

Result: The calculated result

How It Works

1Enter your investment amount and the ETF's current share price.
2Set the expected annual return and expense ratio.
3Include brokerage fees and any dividend yield.
4The calculator projects the final portfolio value.

Examples

$10,000 in an ETF at $150/share, 10% return, 0.25% ER, $5 fee, 2% dividend yield over 10 years

1.Shares bought = ($10,000 - $5) / $150 = 66.63
2.Net annual return = 10% - 0.25% + 2% = 11.75%
3.Future share price = $150 Ã— (1.1175)^10 = $456
4.Final value = 66.63 Ã— $456 = $30,398

Result: $30,398

Frequently Asked Questions

ETFs trade on exchanges like stocks throughout the day, typically have lower expense ratios, and are more tax-efficient than mutual funds.

Index ETF expense ratios are typically 0.03% to 0.50%. Lower is generally better, but consider tracking error and liquidity as well.

Dividends provide an additional return stream. A 2% dividend yield on top of 10% price appreciation means a 12% total return before expenses.
