Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) Calculator
Dollar-cost averaging means investing a fixed amount on a fixed schedule regardless of price — the approach most Australian exchanges now offer as an “auto-invest” feature. This calculator projects what a schedule is worth under an assumed average growth rate.
Assumes a constant growth rate, which real markets never do — treat this as arithmetic, not a prediction. Cryptocurrency is volatile and you can lose money.
Reading the result honestly #
The projection assumes the same growth rate applies every period. Real crypto markets move in cycles, so the arithmetic is smooth and the market is not. The calculator is most useful for comparing schedules (e.g. $50 weekly vs $200 monthly) rather than forecasting outcomes.
Want the strategy behind the tool? See cryptocoin investment strategies. And the usual caveat applies: this is an educational calculator, not financial advice — the growth rate you enter is an assumption, not a forecast, and crypto can fall as readily as it rises.
