What this return means
$1,000 invested in Total Market (VTI) in 2020 is worth $2,496 today. That is a +149.6% gain, a little over 2.5x your money, measured to 2026-06-01.
In compound terms that is roughly 15.1% a year, well above what a broad index has historically returned. Because this is a broad S&P 500 fund, it is the benchmark here rather than something measured against it.
The year-by-year record shows how bumpy the ride was. The best single year was 2025 at +26.2%, and the worst was 2023 at -8.4%. These figures use split-adjusted closing prices and exclude dividends, taxes, trading fees, and inflation, so a real after-tax result would differ.
