Calculation Formulas & Assumptions

  • The simulation uses an annual time step; 12 months per year is a model convention, not a VOO statistic.
  • Monthly contributions are modeled as a mid-year lump sum; the 0.5-year factor is a simplifying model convention, not a VOO statistic.
  • Annual Dividend per dollar invested = Current SEC Yield × (1 + Dividend Growth Rate) ^ (Year − 1).
  • Portfolio Value (No DRIP): share-price growth only; dividends are tracked as cash.
  • Portfolio Value (DRIP): share-price growth plus annual dividends reinvested at year-end.
  • Annual Dividend = effective yield × average portfolio value.
  • DRIP vs No-DRIP Difference = DRIP portfolio value − (No-DRIP portfolio value + cumulative cash dividends).
  • Dividend growth and share-price growth are required user assumptions and are intentionally blank because no official VOO figures were retrieved for them.
  • Taxes and trading fees are not included. VOO’s published expense ratio is 0.03%, as of April 28, 2026; it is not deducted here. Source: Vanguard VOO profile.
  • Vanguard lists VOO’s distribution schedule as quarterly, as of June 30, 2026. Source: VOO fact sheet.
  • Share-price growth is applied uniformly across the year; intra-year volatility is not modeled.
