Calculate your crypto profits and losses in AED, or use the "What If" Time Machine to see what past investments would be worth today. Live prices from CoinGecko.
See what your investment would be worth today if you had bought in the past.
Calculating your profit or loss from a cryptocurrency trade involves three numbers: what you paid (including fees), what you received when selling, and any exchange fees deducted. The formula is straightforward: Sell Value minus Buy Value minus Fees equals Profit or Loss.
Our calculator handles this automatically. Enter the coin you traded, how much AED you invested, your buy price and sell price in USD, and the exchange fee percentage. The tool calculates your exact profit or loss in AED, accounting for the AED/USD peg rate of 3.6725 and both buy-side and sell-side exchange fees.
If you leave the sell price blank, the calculator uses the current live market price from CoinGecko, letting you see your unrealized profit or loss on an open position.
Ever wondered what would have happened if you had invested in Bitcoin back in 2020? Or bought Ethereum before its last major rally? The What If Time Machine answers exactly that question using real historical price data from CoinGecko.
Select a coin, pick any date going back to 2013 (for Bitcoin) or the coin's listing date, enter the AED amount you would have invested, and the tool calculates the exact return. The result uses the actual price on that date and today's live price, giving you a precise picture of what that investment journey would have looked like.
This is not just a fun exercise. Understanding historical returns across different time horizons helps inform realistic expectations for future investments. A 10,000 AED investment in Bitcoin in January 2020 would have returned very differently from the same investment in November 2021. Timing matters, which is exactly why most experts recommend dollar-cost averaging over lump-sum investing.
The calculator uses live prices from CoinGecko and the fixed AED/USD peg rate of 3.6725. Results are accurate to the current market rate but do not account for spread markup, slippage on large orders, or deposit/withdrawal fees.
Yes. It queries CoinGecko's historical price API for the exact date you select and returns the actual market price on that day. This is real data, not estimates.
