Frequently asked questions
What would $1,000 in Facebook at the IPO be worth today?+
Select the "since inception" row in the table above. It is computed from live prices beginning with Facebook's first trading day in May 2012.
Why did Meta stock fall so much in 2022?+
Meta dropped roughly 75% from its 2021 high to the November 2022 low as ad revenue growth stalled, Apple's privacy changes hurt targeting, and investors balked at heavy spending on the metaverse. Cost cuts and an AI-driven ad recovery drove a sharp rebound in 2023.
Does this Meta calculator include dividends?+
Yes. All historical figures use META's adjusted closing price, which accounts for stock splits and assumes every dividend was reinvested on the payment date. This is the standard way to measure total return.
Where does the Meta price data come from?+
Historical and live prices for the stock are fetched from a market data feed and cached for one hour, so the numbers on this page track the current market with at most a short delay. The backtest uses daily data for periods under five years and weekly data for longer periods.
