Crypto DCA Calculator
Map out a dollar-cost-averaging plan before you commit. Choose how much you buy each time and how many buys you make, and see your total invested, the coins you accumulate, and what an exit price would be worth.
The fixed amount you invest on each scheduled purchase.
How often you make each buy. This sets the cadence of your plan.
How many scheduled purchases your plan runs for.
Your estimate of the average price you pay across all buys.
Optional. Set a price to project your value, or leave at 0 to skip.

How the DCA Plan Is Calculated
Your total invested is simply the amount per buy multiplied by the number of buys. Dividing that by your assumed average price gives the coins you accumulate. If you set an exit price, your projected value is the coins times that price, and the return is the gain over what you put in. These are planning figures from your own assumptions, not a forecast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dollar-cost averaging means investing a fixed amount on a regular schedule instead of all at once. When prices are high your money buys fewer coins, and when prices are low it buys more, so your average entry smooths out over time rather than depending on a single buy point.
Not always. If a market rises steadily, investing a lump sum early often ends ahead because more capital is exposed sooner. DCA's edge is in volatile or falling markets, where spreading buys lowers your average cost and removes the stress of timing a single entry. Neither approach removes the risk of loss.
There is no single right cadence. Weekly or monthly buys are common because they are easy to keep up with and match how most people are paid. More frequent buys average your price a little more finely but can add fees. Choose a schedule you can stick to consistently, since consistency is what makes DCA work.
No. This is a planning tool that works entirely from the assumptions you enter, including the average buy price and any exit price. Real prices will move, so your actual coins and value will differ. Use it to compare scenarios and shape a plan, not as a prediction of future returns.
