How to read this
The calculator answers a simple question: if you had bought Bitcoin in a given month, what would that purchase be worth now? It is a look back, and it hides the hard part: most people who bought early did not hold through the drops of 2011, 2014, 2018 or 2022. Browse Bitcoin prices by month to see how rough the ride was, or read what happened in each year.

How does this Bitcoin calculator work?
Pick an amount and the month you would have bought. The calculator divides the amount by the Bitcoin price on the first day of that month to get the number of coins, then values those coins at the latest monthly price on this site. Fees, taxes and exact timing are ignored.
Where do the prices come from?
The monthly prices are approximate first-of-month USD prices compiled from public sources from July 2010 onward. They are rounded and may differ slightly from any single exchange.
Is this financial advice?
No. The calculator shows what happened in the past. Bitcoin is volatile, past performance does not predict future results, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell.
