Crypto Price Calculator Formula
The calculator uses one of four formulas depending on the mode you pick.
Price = Market Cap / Circulating Supply Market Cap = Price * Circulating Supply Holdings Value = Coins Owned * Price Projected Value = (Investment / Buy Price) * Target Price
- Price: dollar value of one coin
- Market Cap: total dollar value of all circulating coins
- Circulating Supply: coins currently in public hands
- Max Supply: total coins that will ever exist (used for fully diluted value)
- Coins Owned: your balance of the coin
- Buy Price: the price you paid per coin
- Target Price: the price you are testing
Results ignore exchange fees, spreads, slippage, and taxes. They also assume circulating supply does not change between now and the target price, which is rarely true for coins with active emissions or burns. For fully diluted value (FDV), substitute max supply for circulating supply.
Reference Tables
Use these to sanity-check the numbers the calculator returns.
| Market Cap Range | Tier | Typical Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Under $100M | Micro | Thin liquidity, large swings |
| $100M – $1B | Small | Volatile, supply changes matter |
| $1B – $10B | Mid | Better depth, still cyclical |
| $10B – $100B | Large | Deep order books, broad listings |
| Over $100B | Mega | BTC and ETH territory |
| Price Move | Return | $1,000 Becomes |
|---|---|---|
| 2x | +100% | $2,000 |
| 5x | +400% | $5,000 |
| 10x | +900% | $10,000 |
| 100x | +9,900% | $100,000 |
| 0.5x | -50% | $500 |
Example and FAQ
Example. A coin has 250 million circulating supply. You want to know the price if it reaches a $5 billion market cap.
Price = $5,000,000,000 / 250,000,000 = $20 per coin. If you hold 1,000 coins, that position would be worth $20,000.
Why does the same coin show two different market caps online? One number uses circulating supply, the other uses max supply (fully diluted value). FDV assumes every future coin already exists.
Can a small coin really hit Bitcoin's price? Price alone is meaningless without supply. A coin with 1 trillion tokens reaching $1 each would need a $1 trillion market cap, which is the entire crypto majors range.
Why is my projected value off from the exchange? Live prices change every second, and exchanges charge fees and spreads. The calculator gives a clean math result, not a quote.
