Questions

How does the calculator work?

Pick an amount, a stock or cryptocurrency, and a year. We work out how many shares or coins that money bought at the start of that year, then value them at today’s price. The result updates as you type.

Where do the prices come from?

Current prices come from Yahoo Finance (with CoinGecko as a backup for crypto) and refresh every hour. Historical prices are start-of-year prices: for stocks, the first trading day's close from Yahoo Finance; for crypto, the January 1 opening price on major US exchanges (Coinbase, Kraken, Bitstamp), or CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap where a coin wasn't yet trading on US exchanges.

Do stock results include dividends?

Yes. Stock prices are adjusted for splits and dividends, so results assume dividends were reinvested. The S&P 500 comparison includes reinvested dividends too, so it matches what an index fund returned.

Is this financial advice?

No. It shows what happened in the past, which doesn’t predict future returns. Fees and taxes are not included.
