What is it?
Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is the strategy of investing a fixed dollar amount at regular intervals regardless of price. Over time, you buy more coins when prices are low and fewer when prices are high, resulting in an average purchase price lower than the peak. For educational purposes only — not financial advice.
How to use
Enter the fixed amount you invest each period, the total number of periods, your average entry price (sum of prices / number of purchases), and the current market price. The calculator shows total coins held, current value, and your profit/loss.
Example scenario
Investing $100/month for 12 months (total $1,200) with an average buy price of $40,000: total BTC = 0.03 BTC. If current price is $60,000, portfolio value = $1,800. Profit = $600, ROI = 50%.
Pro tip
DCA removes the emotional burden of timing the market. Studies on assets with long-term upward trends show DCA outperforms lump-sum investing in volatile markets. Set up automatic recurring purchases on an exchange to remove decision fatigue entirely. The key metric is average buy price vs. current price — not individual purchase timing.
