A forward plan based on an average price you choose. It does not use or imply any historical return.

Dollar-cost averaging means investing a fixed amount on a regular schedule, regardless of price. This planner projects forward: enter an amount per buy, how often you buy, for how long, and an assumed average price, and it works out your total invested, the number of buys, and the coins you would end up holding at that average price. For example, $50 every two weeks for a year is 26 buys and $1,300 invested — the planner does the same arithmetic for whatever numbers you enter. It deliberately does not claim historical returns, because past performance is not indicative of future results, and the assumed price is exactly that: an assumption you choose, not a forecast.

FAQ

Does this show what I would have made in the past?

No. This is a forward planner only — it does not pull historical price data or claim what a DCA strategy would have returned starting at any specific date in the past. You choose the assumed average price yourself.

Is dollar-cost averaging better than investing a lump sum?

It depends on your own risk tolerance and market view — there is no universally correct answer, and this tool does not make that recommendation. DCA spreads out your entry price and can reduce the regret of buying right before a drop, at the cost of potentially buying at a higher average price in a rising market.

What should I use as the assumed average price?

That is your own estimate, not a forecast we provide. Some people use the current price, others use a price they consider reasonable over the plan's duration — the result is only as meaningful as the assumption you put in.

Does the calculator account for fees?

No. It works out gross totals from your inputs; trading and network fees on each buy are not deducted. Add them into your amount-per-buy figure if you want a more realistic total.
