Crypto Converter: EUR, BTC and Satoshis

How to use the crypto converter

1. Enter the price: copy the current euro price of one bitcoin from your exchange.
2. Type an amount: in euros, in BTC or in satoshis.
3. Read the other two: the crypto converter fills them in automatically.

The converter does not fetch prices from the internet, which keeps it private and means the result is only as current as the price you type.

What a satoshi is

A satoshi is the smallest unit of bitcoin, and one bitcoin is 100,000,000 satoshis.

The unit is named after Satoshi Nakamoto, the name used by the author of the original Bitcoin paper.

Many apps show small amounts in satoshis, often shortened to "sats", because they are easier to read than long decimals.

Crypto converter examples

Example, at an assumed price of €50,000 per bitcoin:

Illustrative example; the €50,000 price is an assumption, not a market price.

You do not need to buy a whole bitcoin: exchanges let you buy a fraction, often from a few euros.

Converter results and what you actually receive

The crypto converter shows the value at the price you enter, without fees.

When you buy, the fee and the spread mean you receive slightly fewer satoshis than the converter shows for the same euros.

The fee calculator shows how much of a purchase goes to costs.

Small amounts and withdrawal fees

Sending bitcoin from an exchange to your own wallet costs a network fee, which can be large compared with a very small balance.

Before withdrawing a small amount, check the exchange's withdrawal fee and its minimum withdrawal, and convert both into satoshis with the crypto converter.

The guide to withdrawing crypto to a wallet explains networks and test transfers.

Prices differ between exchanges

Bitcoin does not have one official price: each exchange has its own market, and prices can differ slightly between them.

For the most useful result, use the price on the exchange you will actually trade on.

Large numbers, real risk

Seeing a balance in satoshis can make an amount look large, and seeing a price in euros can make a small fraction look cheap.

Neither changes the risk: a fall of 50% in the bitcoin price halves the value of every satoshi you hold.

The crypto stress test shows what a fall would mean for your savings.

Crypto converter: reading prices correctly

• Decimal separators: some apps use a comma and some a point; check before typing.
• Currency: make sure the price is in euros, not US dollars or a stablecoin.
• Buy and sell prices: apps often show different prices for buying and selling; use the one that applies.
• Timing: prices change by the second, so treat any conversion as approximate.

Converting other coins

The crypto converter is built around bitcoin and satoshis, but the same logic works for any coin: euros divided by the price per coin gives the number of coins.

Many coins can be divided into small units too, though the names and number of decimals differ between networks.

Crypto converter and withdrawal minimums

Exchanges often set a minimum amount for crypto withdrawals and charge a network fee.

Converting both into euros with the converter shows whether a small balance is worth moving at all.

Example: if the minimum withdrawal is 0.0002 BTC and the price is €50,000, the minimum is €10; a network fee of a few euros would then be a large share of it.

Illustrative figures; check your exchange's actual minimum and fee.

Crypto converter: avoid unit mistakes

Typing a number in the wrong unit, such as bitcoin instead of satoshis, can multiply an amount by a hundred million.

Before confirming any transfer, read the amount in both units and in euros, and send a small test first when the amount is large.

Crypto converter: smallest units of common coins

Every coin has a smallest unit, and wallets and block explorers sometimes show amounts in that unit instead of whole coins.

Network fees on Ethereum are usually quoted in gwei, which is why the unit appears in many wallets.

Crypto converter: everyday amounts in bitcoin

Example: with an assumed bitcoin price of €60,000, small euro amounts convert as follows.

Example price only; enter the current price in the crypto converter above.

The figures are before fees, so the amount you actually receive after buying is a little smaller.

Crypto converter: from coins back to euros in your bank

A converter shows the market value of your coins, but selling and withdrawing has its own costs.

1. Market value: example, 0.01 BTC at €60,000 is €600.
2. Selling fee: at an example fee of 0.5%, €3 is deducted.
3. Spread: an example spread of 1% on a quick-sell screen costs about another €6.
4. Euro withdrawal: some providers charge for SEPA withdrawals; check the fee page.
5. Result: about €591 reaches your bank in this example, before any withdrawal fee or tax.

The crypto fee calculator works out the same costs for your own figures.

Crypto converter: euro and dollar prices

Many price sites quote crypto in US dollars, while your account and bank work in euros.

Example: if bitcoin is $70,000 and one euro buys $1.10, the euro price is about €63,636.

When a price looks surprisingly high or low, check whether it is in dollars or euros before you act on it.

Stablecoins pegged to the dollar, such as USDC, also change in euro value when the exchange rate between the euro and the dollar moves.

Crypto converter: dust and rounding

Apps often round balances to a few decimals, so a balance shown as 0.0001 BTC may be slightly more or less.

Very small leftover amounts, often called dust, can be worth less than the network fee needed to move them.

Some providers let you convert dust into another coin, but each conversion is a trade with its own cost.

Before withdrawing, check the minimum withdrawal amount and the fee in coins, and convert them with the crypto converter to see what they mean in euros.

Crypto converter: questions readers ask

Do I have to buy a whole bitcoin? No; bitcoin can be bought in fractions down to one satoshi, although providers set their own minimum purchase.

Why does my exchange show a different value than the converter? Prices differ between providers and change by the second, and an exchange may show the price you could sell at, which is lower than the buying price.

Does a lower coin price mean a coin is cheaper? No; the price per coin depends on how many coins exist, and it says nothing about whether a coin is good value.

Crypto converter: checking an address and amount before sending

• The amount in coins matches the euro value you intended, checked in the crypto converter.
• The decimals are in the right place, since one extra zero changes the amount tenfold.
• The network fee is shown separately and you know whether it is taken from the amount or added on top.
• The receiving address and network are correct, compared character by character at the start and the end.

Crypto transfers generally cannot be reversed, so a small test transfer is worth its fee when sending to a new address.

If anything looks wrong, stop and check again before you confirm, because a rushed transfer is the most common cause of mistakes.
