Adjusting VOO returns for inflation

The nominal return on investment of $100 is $655.62, or 655.62%. This means by March 2026 you would have $755.62.

However, it is important to take inflation into account when evaluating a long-term investment. You can convert these returns to their real value using an inflation calculation based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (CPI).

In this case, the CPI in September 2010 was 218.439 and the CPI in March 2026 was 330.213.

Adjusted for inflation, the $755.62 nominal end value would have a real return of roughly $399.85 in 2010 dollars. This means the inflation-adjusted return is 399.85% as opposed to the original 655.62%.

VOO dollar-cost averaging

Dollar-cost averaging is an alternative to investing the full lump-sum of $100 up front. Instead, the capital is invested over a period of time.

Consider a strategy in which $100 was invested in Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) over a period of no more than 24 months beginning in 2010. This would result in a final amount of $661.41. In this particular case, dollar-cost average returns are less than the returns of a lump-sum investment (which ends with $755.62).
