How this calculator works (assumptions & method)
- The simulation steps month by month. Share price compounds at the annual price-growth rate; monthly contributions buy shares at that month's price; dividends arrive on the fund's real payment schedule (monthly, quarterly, etc.) and — with DRIP on — buy more shares the day they're paid.
- Dividend per share steps up once per year at the dividend-growth rate, matching how companies actually raise dividends. Weekly payers are modeled as monthly; the compounding difference is negligible.
- The tax rate applies to dividends only, at payment time. Price gains are treated as unrealized (no capital-gains tax is modeled). 0% approximates a tax-advantaged account like an IRA or 401(k).
- With DRIP off, dividends accumulate as uninvested cash earning nothing — the cleanest way to isolate what reinvestment itself contributes.
- Default yield, growth, and schedule come from the ticker's verified data (sources and date shown on the page). Historical rates are held constant for the whole horizon — real markets won't do that, which is why this is an illustration, not a forecast. Fund fees are already reflected in historical figures; the model adds no other costs.
