Crypto DCA Calculator
See how a regular dollar-cost averaging investment could grow over time. Enter a monthly contribution, how many months you invest and an assumed average annual return to see total invested, projected value and profit, useful for planning a recurring crypto or stock buy.
Assumes the annual return compounds monthly and applies equally to every contribution. Real crypto and stock returns are volatile and never move in a straight line, so treat this as a planning estimate only.

Frequently asked questions
What is dollar-cost averaging?
Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) means investing a fixed amount at regular intervals, such as monthly, instead of one lump sum. This smooths out the average price paid over time, which can reduce the impact of buying right before a price drop.
How is the projected value calculated?
It treats your contributions as a regular series and applies the assumed annual return, compounded monthly, to each contribution for the time it remains invested. Earlier contributions have longer to grow than the most recent ones.
Is the assumed return a guarantee?
No. Crypto assets are highly volatile and past performance never guarantees future results. The assumed annual return is just a planning assumption you choose, so try a range of figures, including low or negative ones, to see how the outcome changes.
