FAQ

What if I invested ₹10,000 in Bitcoin in 2015?

₹10,000 invested in Bitcoin in 2015 would have bought ~0.036 BTC at ~$334. At today's prices of ~$95,000, that would be worth approximately ₹28 lakhs — a staggering return.

How much would ₹1,000 invested in Bitcoin in 2017 be worth?

₹1,000 in Bitcoin in 2017 (~$12 at ₹83/USD) would have bought ~0.0012 BTC. Today it would be worth approximately ₹9,400 — about 9x your investment.

Is crypto legal in India?

Yes, but gains are taxed at 30% with 1% TDS on transactions. No loss offset or deductions are allowed. Despite this, many Indians invest through WazirX, CoinDCX, or CoinSwitch.

How does the calculator work for India?

It converts ₹ to USD at ₹83, calculates how much BTC you could buy, then converts the result back to rupees at the same rate.

Is Bitcoin still a good investment in India?

Bitcoin carries high risk but offers diversification. With 30% tax on gains, returns need to be significantly higher than alternatives like NIFTY 50. Only invest what you can afford to lose.

How to buy Bitcoin in India?

Use KYC-verified platforms: WazirX, CoinDCX, CoinSwitch, or ZebPay. Start small and understand the tax implications before investing.

What if I invested in Bitcoin 5 years ago?

Five years ago (2021), Bitcoin's average price was ~$47,345. A ₹83,000 (~$1,000) investment would have bought ~0.021 BTC, worth approximately ₹1.66 lakhs today — roughly doubling your money.

Is this better than a SIP investment?

Bitcoin has historically outperformed a 12% annual SIP over long periods, but with extreme volatility — including 70-80% drawdowns. A NIFTY 50 SIP offers steady compounding with rupee cost averaging and far lower risk. For most Indian investors, SIP is the safer core strategy, with crypto as a small satellite allocation.

Who Is This Calculator For?

Crypto-curious

You've heard about Bitcoin (BTC) gains and want to know what a real investment would have returned. This calculator uses actual historical price data from CoinGecko — no hype, just numbers.

FOMO checkers

You need to know whether that feeling of "I should have bought" is justified. Sometimes the answer is yes — sometimes the timing would have been terrible. The data tells the real story.

Risk-aware investors

You want to understand Bitcoin (BTC)'s volatility before investing. Seeing 80%+ drawdowns alongside 1,000%+ gains helps you decide if you can stomach the ride.

Important Limitations

Extreme volatility is the norm

Crypto has experienced multiple 70-90% drawdowns historically. A 10,000 investment could drop to 1,000 within months — and recover years later, or not. This calculator shows the best-case (buy low) and worst-case (buy high) outcomes equally.

No staking, fees, or gas costs modeled

This calculator shows pure price appreciation only. Real returns would differ based on exchange fees, gas costs (especially for Ethereum and Solana), and staking rewards. These can significantly impact net returns in both directions.

Prices are in USD

All crypto prices come from CoinGecko in USD. If your local currency weakened against USD during the period, your actual return in local currency would be higher — and vice versa.

Not investment advice

Showing that Bitcoin (BTC) returned 1,000% in a specific period does NOT mean it will do so again. Crypto markets are speculative and unpredictable. Never invest more than you can afford to lose entirely.
