What if you invested €100 a month in Meta?

Use the calculator below to see what €100 a month into Meta (META) would be worth today, against putting the same total in on day one. Real daily prices, dividends reinvested, free and with no signup.

Why Meta specifically

Meta fell hard and recovered hard, and a monthly plan bought the whole way down and the whole way back. It is one of the few names here where that schedule finished ahead of a lump sum — the clearest case on this list that what matters is not how deep the fall was, but that you were still buying during it.

Meta is the company behind Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. Change the ticker in the calculator above to run the same schedule on anything else — the numbers on this page are just one setting of it.

What this calculation does and doesn’t include

Contributions land on the first trading day of each month at the closing price. Dividends are included and treated as reinvested. Taxes are ignored, and so are the fees your broker charges on a small monthly purchase — on a €100 contribution a flat commission is a real drag that this does not model. The window is the free five-year one, which matters more than it sounds: five years is one market cycle at most, and a schedule that started five years ago is not the same experiment as one that started in 2007.

Above all, this is one company over one stretch of history that already happened. It cannot tell you what the next five years hold, and picking the ticker with the best number on this list is choosing with hindsight — which is the one advantage you will never have in advance.
