Crypto DCA Calculator

DCA is investing a fixed amount on a regular schedule regardless of price. It buys more when prices are low and less when they're high, smoothing your average cost and reducing the risk of buying everything at a bad time. This tool back-tests it on real prices.

You pick a coin, an amount and a frequency, and it simulates a buy on every scheduled date using real historical daily prices, then totals your coins, invested amount, current value, profit, ROI and average buy price.

It depends. Lump-sum often wins in steadily rising markets; DCA tends to do better in choppy or falling markets and is easier to stick with. The calculator shows both outcomes for the same total so you can compare directly.

Up to 365 days, because the free keyless price data covers the most recent year. That's enough to back-test a realistic DCA plan over the past year for any coin.

Yes. The back-test uses real historical daily prices from CoinGecko, so the results reflect what actually happened. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results.

Yes. It's completely free, needs no signup, and runs entirely in your browser, fetching only anonymous public price data from CoinGecko.

Enter a recurring amount, frequency and date range; the DCA calculator applies historical prices for each buy, totals the coins accumulated and shows their current value versus what you invested, so you can see the return from dollar-cost averaging.

DCA means investing a fixed amount at regular intervals regardless of price. Because you buy more when prices are low and less when high, your average cost smooths out volatility. The calculator simulates this over any period.

It depends on the market. Lump sum often wins in a steady bull market, while DCA reduces timing risk and stress in volatile markets. Use the calculator to compare both outcomes on historical data.
