How the “what if I invested” calculator works

This tool looks up the coin's price on the month you choose and its price today, then works out how many units your amount would have bought and what they are worth now. The result is a buy-and-hold comparison: current value, profit and your multiple.

Prices come from DeFiLlama historical data, which are daily reference prices, so treat the output as a close estimate rather than an exact intraday fill. Very old or very small tokens may have gaps. It does not include fees, staking or dollar-cost averaging.

Hindsight is easy; the hard part is holding through the swings and knowing when something changes. If you hold crypto today, Otomato monitors your positions and alerts you on the moves that matter.

The complete guide

How the calculation is done

The tool fetches the coin's reference price on the month you select and its price right now. Your amount buys a number of units at the old price, and those units are revalued at today's price. The difference is your profit, and the ratio is your multiple, a pure buy-and-hold outcome.

Prices are daily reference values from DeFiLlama, so they capture the right level for a date rather than an exact fill. Very early or very small tokens may not have data that far back.

The lesson behind the number

Every big 'what if' hides a hard truth: holding through the drawdowns is the part almost nobody manages. The same position that would be worth a fortune today spent long stretches deep underwater, and most people sold.

  • This is buy-and-hold only, no fees, staking or dollar-cost averaging.
  • Real entries are rarely a single clean price on a single day.
  • Past performance says nothing about future returns.

If you do hold crypto today, the useful version of this exercise is staying informed without staring at charts. Otomato monitors what you hold and alerts you when something material changes.

Frequently asked questions

How does the "what if I invested" calculator work?

Does this account for staking or fees?
No, it is a simple buy-and-hold comparison with no fees, staking rewards or DCA. Real returns would differ. If you actually hold the asset, Otomato can monitor the position and alert you when something material changes.
