What happened to SPLG?
Nothing changed inside the fund; only its name and ticker did. In a supplement dated October 21, 2025, State Street said the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF would trade as SPYM instead of SPLG from October 31, 2025. It is now called the State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF.
If you held SPLG, you now hold the same shares under the SPYM symbol. Its dividend record simply continues under the new ticker, which is how the table above treats it.

Is SPLG better than VOO?
They are close to twins. Both hold the S&P 500, and their returns to September 30, 2026 were almost identical. SPYM made 15.70% over one year, 22.84% a year over three, 13.76% over five and 15.31% over ten. VOO made 15.70%, 22.85%, 13.75% and 15.29%.
The fund’s fee is lower: 0.02% a year against 0.03% for VOO and 0.0945% for SPY. Trailing yields on Oct 13, 2026 were about 0.99% for SPYM and 1.04% for VOO. A single share also costs far less than a VOO share.
One detail matters for long backtests. State Street says the fund has tracked the S&P 500 only since January 24, 2020; before that it followed other large-cap indexes.

About SPLG
SPLG tracks the S&P 500, giving low-cost exposure to 500 of the largest US companies. It is a growth-and-income fund rather than an income product, so its dividend yield is modest but has grown over time with corporate earnings. On October 31, 2025 the fund’s ticker changed from SPLG to SPYM — same fund and strategy, new symbol.
SPLG is a broad-market index etf from State Street (SPDR) that distributes quarterly. Because dividend investing is about both income and the growth of that income, the calculator above lets you model three things independently for SPLG: the starting yield, how fast the dividend grows each year, and how fast the share price appreciates. That separation matters most for high-yield versus dividend-growth choices, where a lower starting yield that grows quickly can overtake a higher static yield over time.
How to use the SPLG calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with SPLG’s current dividend yield from your broker or the fund’s page.
- Set your initial investment and monthly contribution.
- Estimate the dividend growth rate and price growth rate. For a broad-market index etf these can differ a lot — be realistic rather than optimistic.
- Choose your dividend tax rate and whether to reinvest (DRIP), then read the projected value, dividends received, and yield on cost.
The full math, including how the money-weighted return is computed, is on the methodology page.

- How does this SPLG dividend calculator work?

- Is the SPLG projection a guarantee?
