How it works

Dominance = bitcoin's market cap ÷ the total market cap of every coin CoinGecko tracks. Market cap = price × coins in circulation. In the calculator, bitcoin's market cap = the total you enter × the share you enter, and the price per bitcoin = that ÷ the bitcoin issued so far, worked out from the block height.

Why other sites show a different figure

Each data provider tracks a different list of coins, and some leave stablecoins out, so dominance differs from site to site by a few points. The scenario holds the supply still and says nothing about whether a market size is likely.
