Methodology

Historical price data for US-listed tickers, including the ETFs that track the main market indices.

Tables and the calculator use the last close of each month, adjusted for stock splits. Sources: IEX Historical Data for prices, and the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve for exchange rates.

Figures ignore taxes, fees, and inflation.
