What was the best and worst year for S&P 500 between 2020 and 2025?+
The best year was 2021, with an approximate return of 28.7%. The worst was 2022, at -18.1%. This year-to-year swing is the asset's real volatility: even the best long-term investments have very negative years along the way.
Does this simulation guarantee S&P 500 will behave the same way in the future?+
No. This is a historical backtest with approximate 2020-2025 data: it shows what would have happened in the past, not a prediction of the future. Past returns do not guarantee future returns.
What if I change the €100 monthly contribution?+
The result scales roughly proportionally to the contribution (with small variations from the compounding effect). Try your own figure above in the simulator, or open these same parameters in the main calculator for a fuller analysis.
