$100 a week in VOO for 20 years: what it could grow to

You would put in $104,000. At an assumed 7% a year it grows to about $220,697, but that rate is an assumption. VOO's real record is shorter: $100 a week since Sep 6, 2010 (842 weeks) put in $84,200 and was worth $306,898 at the close of the week of Oct 19, 2026.

The math, shown

Weeks: n = 52 x 20 = 1,040. Put in: 1,040 x $100 = $104,000. Weekly rate at 7% a year: r = 1.07^(1/52) - 1 = 0.1302% a week. Value = $100 x ((1 + r)^1040 - 1) / r x (1 + r) = $220,697. Each buy is made at the start of its week.

The hard part is not the math

The formula assumes you never skip a week for 20 years. That is the part worth tracking. My Bitcoin streak is 64 weeks. See the count on the DCA streak tracker page, or make a streak card.

VOO is 13 weeks at $300 every Tuesday, worth $2,706.03 as of Oct 27, 2026.
