DCA Calculator

Don't time the market. Beat it with consistent buying.

$
Note: This simulation assumes a constant annual growth rate for simplicity, as we do not pull historical price data to respect privacy and no-server rules.
How It Works: Simulates Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA), where you invest a fixed amount regularly regardless of price action.

Key Inputs:
  • Crypto Asset: The asset you are simulating (e.g., BTC, ETH).
  • Monthly Investment: Fixed amount invested each month.
  • Duration: How long you keep investing (Years).
  • Growth Rate (%): Simulated annual return.


Note: Uses a steady growth model for estimation; does not pull historical chart data.

Why Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) Works

Timing the market is nearly impossible, even for professionals. Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) removes emotion from investing by committing to buy a fixed dollar amount of an asset at regular intervals, regardless of the price.

The Math Behind the Strategy

When prices are high, your fixed investment buys fewer coins. When prices are low, your fixed investment buys more coins. Over time, this lowers your average cost per coin effectively.

Psychological Benefits

Crypto is volatile. Seeing your portfolio drop 50% is scary. But if you are DCA-ing, a price drop is actually "good news" because your next automatic buy will accumulate more coins at a discount.

Lump Sum vs. DCA

Lump Sum: Investing $10,000 all at once beats DCA about 66% of the time historically (because markets generally go up).

DCA: Investing $1,000 a month for 10 months reduces risk. If you buy a top and the market crashes, Lump Sum gets wrecked. DCA allows you to average down during the crash.
