How We Calculate Bitcoin Prices

The converter uses a recent BTC/USD reference price supplied by CoinGecko and clearly labels its source and update time.

BTC to USD

Bitcoin amount × BTC/USD rate

USD to BTC

US-dollar amount ÷ BTC/USD rate

Rate retrieval and caching

BitcoinToDollar.com retrieves the rate server-side and caches it briefly to improve reliability and avoid unnecessary requests. Amounts entered in the calculator are calculated locally in the browser.

Why prices differ between exchanges

There is no single official Bitcoin price. Trading venues have separate order books, liquidity and spreads. The displayed value can therefore differ from an executable exchange quote and excludes trading fees, withdrawal fees, taxes and bank charges.
