Netflix (NFLX) transformed from a DVD rental service to the world's largest streaming platform with over 300 million subscribers. Indian investors have benefited from both stock appreciation and rupee depreciation against the dollar.

Netflix leads global streaming with original content in dozens of languages including Hindi. The company generates over $35 billion annually and has expanded into ad-supported tiers popular in price-sensitive markets like India.

Past performance doesn't guarantee future results. Netflix dropped 75% in 2022 but recovered strongly. The streaming market faces intense competition from Disney+ Hotstar, Amazon Prime, and JioCinema in India.

Enter your investment in ₹, select buy year (from 2002) and sell year (or 'Today'), and click Calculate. Indian investors can access NFLX through international brokers under LRS.

FAQ

How does the Netflix calculator work?

The calculator takes the average annual price of NFLX (adjusted for the 7:1 split in July 2015), calculates how many shares you could have bought, and multiplies by the selling price.

Is Netflix a good investment for Indian investors?

Netflix is the global streaming leader with 300M+ subscribers. Indian investors can invest via international brokers (Vested, INDmoney) or through LRS up to $250,000/year.

What if I invested ₹1 lakh in Netflix in 2010?

In 2010, the price was ~$4.28 and ₹1 lakh ≈ $2,200. That would buy ~514 shares, worth ~₹42 lakhs today — a return of ~4,100%.

What happened to Netflix stock in 2022?

Netflix dropped 75% in 2022 when it lost subscribers for the first time. But in 2023-2024, the stock recovered over 300% as it introduced ad-supported plans and cracked down on password sharing.

How many stock splits has Netflix had?

Netflix has had one stock split: a 7:1 split in July 2015. One pre-split share became 7 shares.

What if I invested in Netflix 5 years ago?

Five years ago (2021), the average price was ~$83. A ₹83,000 (~$1,000) investment would have bought ~12 shares, worth ~₹9.9 lakhs today — a return of ~1,100%.

Is this better than a SIP investment?

Netflix's 5-year return (~1,100%) massively outperforms any SIP benchmark. However, Netflix dropped 75% in 2022 — illustrating extreme single-stock risk. A NIFTY 50 SIP provides stability. Best approach: core SIP + small satellite in high-conviction stocks.

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.
