Calculating Monthly Point to Point

• Subtract the starting value from the current value

Date S&P Value

Oct. 1 1018.22

Nov. 3 1059.02

1059.02 – 1018.22 = 40.80

• Divide the sum by the starting value• Record the Index Change and New Starting point

for the next month

40.80 ÷ 1018.22 = 4.0%

Index Change for 1st month = 4.0%

Starting point for 2nd month = 1059.02
