How this is calculated
The calculator divides your amount by LTC'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 Litecoin dataset — monthly closes and highs since Dec 2017 — documented on the methodology page.
Litecoin's price history in two paragraphs
Our Litecoin price series starts in Dec 2017 at $223.69. Since then LTC has returned 0.2× — roughly -17.1% a year over 8.6 years — and its highest monthly price on record is $413.49, set in May 2021; today it trades 89.1% below that peak, at $44.96.
The path was anything but smooth. The deepest slide in our monthly data cut LTC 86.6% from its Dec 2017 peak to the Dec 2018 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.
