About this calculator
Dollar-cost averaging is the default strategy of people who accept a simple truth: nobody times crypto tops and bottoms reliably. A fixed purchase on a fixed day removes emotion from the single decision that destroys most retail portfolios — buying more when euphoric and freezing when prices fall.
Use the growth field as a scenario dial, not a promise. Crypto has delivered years of +100% and years of −70%; a plan that only works at optimistic growth is not a plan. The honest use of this tool is comparing how much of the outcome comes from your contributions versus assumed growth — early on, it's almost all contributions.
Częste pytania
Why DCA instead of a lump sum?
DCA spreads your entry across prices, trading some expected return for far less regret and timing risk in a volatile asset.
What growth rate should I assume?
Nobody knows. Test several — including 0% and negative — and treat every result as a scenario, not a forecast.
Does DCA guarantee profit?
No. If the asset falls over your whole horizon, DCA loses too — it averages your price, it doesn't remove market risk.
