Frequently asked questions
IVV vs VOO: which should I buy?+
They are nearly identical: same index, same 0.03% expense ratio, and tracking differences measured in hundredths of a percent. Choose whichever is commission-free or fractional-share friendly at your broker.
Does this IVV calculator include dividends?+
Yes. All historical figures use IVV's adjusted closing price, which accounts for stock splits and assumes every dividend was reinvested on the payment date. This is the standard way to measure total return.
Where does the IVV price data come from?+
Historical and live prices for the ETF are fetched from a market data feed and cached for one hour, so the numbers on this page track the current market with at most a short delay. The backtest uses daily data for periods under five years and weekly data for longer periods.
What annual return does the hypothetical growth section use?+
It starts at IVV's actual average annual return over all available history (since 2000), the same figure as the "Since inception" row of the "If you invested" table. The "Losses and gains" section above it shows the longest stretch it stayed below a previous high and its best and worst calendar years, as a reminder of how uneven the ride to that average was. Past returns are not a forecast, so change the rate to test more conservative or optimistic scenarios. Remember that inflation of around 2% to 3% per year reduces the real purchasing power of any nominal projection.
