What Dollar-Cost Averaging Means
Dollar-cost averaging means building a position through multiple purchases instead of one entry. This calculator focuses on the math after those purchases are entered manually.

Understanding DCA Math
How Weighted Average Price Works
The weighted average purchase price is total invested before fees divided by total coin quantity. Larger purchases have more influence than smaller purchases.
How Fees Affect Average Cost
Entry fees increase total cost basis but do not increase the coins accumulated. That is why fee-adjusted break-even price can be higher than the average buy price.
Average Price vs. Break-even Price
Average price describes the blended purchase level before fees. Break-even price describes the price needed for the net current value to match the total cost basis.
Why Lower Purchases Change the Average
Buying more coins at lower prices can reduce the weighted average price because the same investment amount accumulates more coins.
Limits of Hypothetical DCA Math
The calculator does not predict future prices, account for taxes, or guarantee that DCA lowers all risk. It only estimates outcomes from values entered.
FAQ
Crypto DCA Calculator Questions
What is a crypto DCA calculator?
A crypto DCA calculator combines multiple purchases so you can estimate total invested amount, total coin quantity, weighted average buy price, fees, current value, and profit or loss.
How is the average purchase price calculated?
Weighted average purchase price is calculated by dividing total invested before fees by the total coin quantity accumulated across the valid purchases entered.
Does the calculator include trading fees?
Yes. Each purchase can include an entry fee percentage, and the full position can include one shared exit fee percentage for the current or hypothetical sale.
What is the difference between average price and break-even price?
Average price uses purchase amounts before fees. Break-even price uses the fee-adjusted total cost basis divided by total coin quantity, so fees can make break-even higher than the average price.
Can I calculate purchases made at different prices?
Yes. Enter each buy separately with its own purchase price, amount invested, and entry fee. The calculator blends those purchases into one position.
Can I use the calculator for Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other cryptocurrencies?
Yes. You can select a supported asset for current-price context or leave the calculator in generic crypto mode and enter every value manually.
Does dollar-cost averaging guarantee a profit?
No. Dollar-cost averaging can change the average purchase price, but it does not guarantee profit or remove market risk.
Does the calculator include taxes?
No. Taxes, slippage, spreads, financing, and personal tax rules are not included. CoqiLabs does not provide tax advice.
