I cherrypicked a day in May 2022 from here that gave something like 14% growth (https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EGSPC?p=%5EGSPC https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EGSPC?p=%5EGSPC), and IIRC the dividends is like 2% annually Edit: tweaking your link to May 11 gets it up to 14.8%, and I'm not sure if it's just using the opening price or the lowest of the day
