Using the Crypto Calculator
Investing is not without risks. We’ll level with you—and help keep you on track. You can use the Stash crypto calculator to help you keep a balanced portfolio. We’ll run the numbers to help you minimize risk. Please note, in order to use the crypto calculator, you must have invested a minimum of $20.00 into your Personal portfolio.
