Live market price
Volatility warning. Bitcoin's price can move violently in both directions, and it has fallen by very large percentages from previous highs more than once. A calculator that picks a good entry date will always look impressive; picking a bad one looks very different. Only ever risk money you can genuinely afford to lose.
What this calculator does and doesn't tell you
The maths here is deliberately simple. It takes the daily closing price on your chosen date, divides your chosen amount by it to get a quantity of BTC, then multiplies that quantity by the current live price. That is all.
What it deliberately leaves out matters just as much: exchange fees, bid-ask spreads, withdrawal charges, the tax you might owe on a disposal, and, most importantly, the psychological reality of holding through the drawdowns in between. Past performance is not a prediction. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
Frequently asked questions
How far back can this calculator go?
The earliest date accepted is 28 April 2013, which is where CoinGecko's daily Bitcoin price history begins. Very old dates are also the most likely to be unavailable on the free, keyless API tier, so if a lookup fails try a more recent date.
Does this include fees, spreads or taxes?
No. It is a simple arithmetic comparison of two prices and ignores exchange fees, spreads, withdrawal costs and any tax you might owe. A real purchase would have returned less than the figure shown.
Does a good past return mean Bitcoin will rise again?
No. Past performance tells you what already happened, not what will happen next. Bitcoin has repeatedly fallen by large percentages from its highs and can do so again. This tool is for illustration only and is not financial advice.
