If you had let's say 10,000 in an SP500 fund how much would it pay in yearly dividends. I am assuming it is between 1 and 2%. Is that right?
Thanks.

If you go to the Yahoo Finance pages for VFINX (a Vanguard S&P 500 Index Fund) and SPY (an S&P 500 index exchange-traded fund):

They indicate dividend yields of 1.69% and 1.65%.
Click on the "Performance" link of each to get their overall performance.

Let's take a specific example SPY an index fund that mimics the performance of the S&P 500. It's annual dividend yield is currently 1.68%, which unfortunately does not correspond to the previous answers you have received. But here is the link to the SPY site where their data on yield is posted.

I'm not sure what SP500 is, but my Fidelity 401K plan pays me about 8.5% a year. Maybe that helps you?
