Crypto DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) Calculator
Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) means investing a fixed amount on a regular schedule regardless of price. To calculate the result, multiply your per-buy amount by the number of buys to get total invested, then divide by the average price you paid to get coins accumulated. Your average cost per coin is total invested divided by total coins. Because you buy more units when prices are low and fewer when high, your blended average usually beats trying to time the market.
How it works
Enter how much you invest each period and how many periods, plus the average coin price across those buys. The calculator returns total invested, coins accumulated and your average cost per coin.
Add a current price and it also shows what your stack is worth today and your unrealised profit or loss. These are estimates for general information, not financial advice.
Avg cost = (amount × periods) ÷ total coins bought

Frequently asked questions
What is dollar-cost averaging?
Investing a fixed amount at regular intervals (e.g. $100 weekly) instead of one lump sum, which smooths out your entry price over time.
Why isn't the result exact?
Real DCA buys happen at different prices each period. This tool uses one average price you supply, so treat it as a close estimate rather than a transaction-by-transaction ledger.
Does DCA guarantee a profit?
No. DCA reduces timing risk but you can still lose money if the asset falls over your whole holding period. It is a strategy, not a guarantee.
How is this different from average cost?
DCA is the strategy of buying on a schedule; the average cost calculator blends specific, unequal buys you already made.
