How this is calculated

The calculator divides your amount by LINK's closing price in the chosen month (quantity = amount ÷ price then) and values that quantity at today's live price. The peak figure scans every month since purchase using intra-month highs, so it captures tops that monthly closes would miss.

Prices come from our bundled Chainlink dataset — monthly closes and highs since Jan 2019 — documented on the methodology page.

Chainlink's price history in two paragraphs

Our Chainlink price series starts in Jan 2019 at $0.38. Since then LINK has returned 20.9× — roughly 50.1% a year over 7.5 years — and its highest monthly price on record is $53.00, set in May 2021; today it trades 84.9% below that peak, at $8.00.

The path was anything but smooth. The deepest slide in our monthly data cut LINK 85.4% from its Apr 2021 peak to the Dec 2022 low — a stretch that tested every holder. That volatility is exactly why the result above shows the position's peak value alongside today's value: buyers near a top and buyers a few months later often see wildly different outcomes. Shift the purchase date around to see how sensitive the result is.

Frequently asked questions

What was Chainlink's all-time high?
In our monthly dataset, LINK peaked at $53 in May 2021. The calculator's peak-value line uses these intra-month highs.
Which price does the calculator buy at?
The closing price of your chosen month from our bundled dataset. Intra-month timing can change real outcomes meaningfully — treat results as close estimates, not exact account statements.
Does the result include taxes or fees?
No — it shows gross market value. Selling would typically trigger capital gains tax; estimate it with the crypto tax calculator.
Would DCA have done better than one lump sum?
Often, yes — especially for purchases near tops. Run the same dates through the DCA calculator to compare a recurring plan against this single buy.
