Weekly closing prices from Kraken's public market data; a start date snaps to the first weekly close on or after it, and "now" is the latest close. Past returns don't predict future ones — this is arithmetic on history, not investment advice. Taxes and withdrawal fees are not included.
One Purchase or Regular Buys?
A single purchase depends entirely on the day you buy. Regular buys — dollar-cost averaging — spread that risk: the same amount buys more coins when the price is low and fewer when it is high. Run both modes above on the same dates and you'll see the difference for yourself; neither is guaranteed to come out ahead.
What It Costs to Buy
Fees take a slice before your money becomes coins. On Kraken Pro a market order costs 0.80% at the entry tier and a limit order 0.40%; the Kraken app's instant buy costs 1% plus a spread. Compare all five major exchanges on your own amount in the fee calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate crypto profit?
Divide the amount you invested by the price you paid to get the number of coins, multiply by today's price, and subtract what you put in. Fees reduce the coins you receive, so subtract them first. The calculator above does this for one purchase or for regular buys.
What is dollar-cost averaging (DCA)?
Buying a fixed dollar amount on a schedule — every week or month — instead of all at once. You buy more coins when the price is low and fewer when it is high, so your average price smooths out. It doesn't guarantee a profit; it removes the need to time one purchase.
Where do the prices come from?
Weekly closing prices from Kraken's public market data. Each coin's history starts when Kraken listed it — Bitcoin in October 2013, Ethereum in August 2015, TON in October 2024 — and the latest close stands in for today's price.
Does the calculator include fees and taxes?
You can include a trading fee: 0.8% matches Kraken Pro's entry-tier market order, 1% its app's instant buy (which also adds a spread). Withdrawal fees and taxes are not included — in most countries selling crypto at a profit is taxable.
Can past returns tell me what crypto will do next?
No. Crypto prices can fall 50% or more, and history shows what happened, not what will. Treat the result as arithmetic, not as a forecast.
