Dollar-Cost Averaging Calculator
Estimate how much you'll invest, how many coins you'll hold, and your average cost from a recurring crypto buy plan.
Buying $100.00 per week for 52 periods.
For general estimates only — not financial advice. You enter your own prices; nothing here pulls live market data.
How it works
Dollar-cost averaging means buying a fixed dollar amount on a schedule instead of trying to time the market. Tell the calculator how much you buy each time, how often, and for how many periods, and it adds up the total you'll put in over the run.
To turn dollars into coins you need a price, so there's a field for an assumed average buy price across the whole plan. The tool divides your total invested by that price to estimate how many coins you'd end up holding.
Because every buy is the same dollar amount at the same assumed price here, the average cost lands right on that price. In real life your average drifts with the market — this gives you a clean baseline to plan around.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I have to enter an average price?
The calculator does pure math and never fetches live prices, so it needs a price to convert your dollars into coins. Use a realistic average for the coin and period you have in mind.
Does DCA guarantee a good average?
No. It smooths out the timing luck of buying all at once, which can help in choppy markets, but your result still depends entirely on where prices actually go.
How do I count periods?
One period is one buy. If you buy weekly for a year, that's 52 periods; monthly for two years is 24. Match the number of periods to the frequency you picked.
