This estimate assumes a single purchase at the closing price supplied by the identified market-data source on the first available date. It excludes transaction fees, taxes, spreads, staking, interest, and additional purchases or sales.

How the Historical Bitcoin Calculator Works

The calculator divides the investment amount by the historical closing price supplied by the identified data source on the first available date to estimate the quantity purchased. It then multiplies that quantity by the ending price. Actual trade execution prices and results would have differed.

Bitcoin (BTC) daily USD price history from the current no-key market-data source begins July 20, 2015. Use the cryptocurrency selector to open the calculator for another supported asset.

What Would $100 of Bitcoin Be Worth Today?

The answer depends entirely on the purchase date. Enter $100, select the date you want to test, and leave the ending date set to today. The result works as a Bitcoin profit calculator: it shows the estimated BTC quantity, ending value, the profit or loss in dollars, and the percentage return.

Bitcoin Calculator Questions

How does the Bitcoin profit calculator work?

Enter an investment amount and two dates. The calculator uses the first available daily BTC-USD closing price for each date to estimate the quantity purchased, ending value, dollar gain or loss, and percentage return.

Does the Bitcoin calculator include fees or taxes?

No. The estimate excludes transaction fees, taxes, spreads, staking, interest, and additional purchases or sales.

How far back does the Bitcoin calculator go?

Available daily BTC-USD price history begins July 20, 2015. The data can contain gaps when the source did not publish a daily price.

Does this calculator predict the future price of Bitcoin?

No. It only estimates the result of a past purchase from historical prices. Past performance does not predict future results.

Historical Returns and Retirement Accounts

Historical price appreciation does not show the effect of account structure. In a taxable account, selling cryptocurrency may create a reportable capital gain or loss. Trades inside an IRA are not current taxable events, although IRA contributions and distributions remain subject to the applicable account rules.
