Compare investments over the periods that actually matter
Stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, bonds and crypto — side by side. Real total returns over 1M · 3M · 6M · YTD · 1Y · 3Y · 5Y, with a “what if I’d put in $10k” answer under every single number.
Stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, bonds and crypto — side by side. Real total returns over 1M · 3M · 6M · YTD · 1Y · 3Y · 5Y, with a “what if I’d put in $10k” answer under every single number.
“Where would my money have grown the most?” — computed from adjusted closes, so dividends and distributions count. Index funds get a fair fight against growth stocks.
Every row shows 1M through 5Y returns. Click any column to sort either direction — instantly, no page reloads.
Each percentage carries its dollar translation: what $10,000 invested at period start would be worth today — verifiable via a third-party calculator, one click away.
Pinned investments stay highlighted in the chart while everything else fades back — track your holdings against the field.
Stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, bond funds, crypto — and manually tracked individual bonds with their coupons counted.
Expense ratios fetched automatically and shown beside returns — because a 0.03% fund and a 0.84% fund are not the same deal.
Keep lists private, share read-only with another user, or publish a public link anyone can open — no account needed.
The comparison chart normalizes every investment to 0% at the period start, so a $500 ETF and a $40 fund plot on equal footing — the only thing you see is growth. Switch periods and the whole timeline re-anchors instantly.
Type a ticker or a name, paste a whole list at once, or enter a bond by hand.
Five years of dividend-adjusted daily prices and fund fees are fetched and kept fresh automatically.
Sort, pin, switch periods — then share the list with a friend or publish a public link.
Most comparison tools quietly get this wrong. Here's exactly what money-maker does, so you can trust the number without taking our word for it — every $10k figure links to a third-party calculator that re-derives it independently.
Stock and ETF prices drop on their ex-dividend date by roughly the dividend paid — a raw price chart makes a dividend payer look like it's losing money. money-maker uses each security's dividend- and split-adjusted closing price, so a return already accounts for cash paid out along the way, exactly as if you'd reinvested it. That's why a fund's return here usually reads higher, and more accurate, than its raw price chart on most financial sites.
A mutual fund or ETF's published NAV is already net of its expense ratio — the fee is baked into the price you see. We display the expense ratio alongside the return anyway, as a visible fact for comparison, not as a further deduction. A 0.03% index fund and a 0.84% actively managed fund can post the exact same return number; the fee tells you how much of the manager's skill you're actually paying for.
Crypto trades every day of the year; stocks and funds only trade on market days. When you compare BTC against VOO, money-maker aligns both onto the stock market's trading calendar so the chart's x-axis means the same thing for every line — no double-counting weekend crypto moves that a stock investor simply couldn't have captured.
Prices sync automatically while the market is open and once more shortly after close; crypto syncs around the clock. Every row shows exactly when its data was last refreshed, so you always know how current a number is.
