Inputs
Adjust assumptions to compare fee drag.
Net rate = Gross − Expense. Lower fee leaves more principal to grow each year causing divergence.
What is an Expense Ratio?
Annual percentage the fund deducts for operating costs. It reduces the return you actually receive.
Persistent small differences compound into meaningful long‑term wealth gaps.

Yearly valuesMethodology
Value grows each year at (Gross − Expense). Two series (ER1 & ER2) diverge over the chosen horizon.
Fee Drag = difference in final values; percentage uses the lower final value as base.
Assumptions
- Constant gross return (illustrative).
- Single initial lump sum only.
- No taxes, exit loads, tracking error.
- Educational – not investment advice.
