Google (Alphabet, GOOGL) IPO'd in 2004 at $85 per share. After splits totaling 40:1, the stock has delivered extraordinary returns. Indian investors have benefited from both stock appreciation and rupee depreciation.

Google dominates search (90%+ share), YouTube, Android (used by most Indian smartphones), Gmail, and Google Cloud. The company's AI leadership with Gemini positions it for continued growth.

Past performance doesn't guarantee future results. Google depends heavily on advertising revenue sensitive to regulation and competition. Indian investors can buy GOOGL through international brokers under LRS ($250K/year).

Enter your investment in ₹, select buy year (from 2004) and sell year (or 'Today'), and click Calculate to see your potential returns.

GOOGL are Class A shares with voting rights. GOOG are Class C without. Prices are nearly identical. The calculator uses GOOGL.

Is this better than a SIP investment?

Google's 5-year return (~82%) outperforms a 12% annual SIP benchmark (~76% over 5 years). However, Google carries single-stock and currency risk. A NIFTY 50 SIP provides diversified exposure to India's growth story with rupee cost averaging. Best approach: core SIP in NIFTY 50 + satellite positions in high-conviction stocks like Google.

Who Is This Calculator For?

Curious investors

You've wondered "what if I had invested in Google (GOOGL) back then?" This calculator answers that question with real historical data — split-adjusted closing prices from Yahoo Finance.

Long-term perspective seekers

You want to understand how buy-and-hold investing in Google (GOOGL) has performed over different time periods. This helps you set realistic expectations for future investments.

Financial educators & content creators

You need accurate, verifiable historical return data for articles, videos, or classroom discussions about stock market investing.

Important Limitations

Past performance ≠ future results

This calculator shows what did happen, not what will happen. Historical returns — even spectacular ones — do not guarantee similar results in the future. Markets change, industries shift, and individual companies face unique risks.

Prices are in USD

All stock and index prices are displayed in USD (the trading currency). If your local currency weakened against USD during the period, your actual return in local currency would be higher — and vice versa. We use current exchange rates, not historical ones.

Fees and taxes not included

Real-world returns would be reduced by brokerage fees, fund expense ratios (for indices), and capital gains taxes. These vary by country and can significantly impact net returns. Use the Killer Fees Calculator to estimate fee impact.

Split-adjusted prices

We use split-adjusted closing prices from Yahoo Finance. This means stock splits are accounted for automatically. If you compare our prices to other sources showing unadjusted prices, the numbers will look very different — both are correct, they just measure different things.
