Dollar-Cost Averaging Planner
Plan a recurring-buy schedule: see how much you would invest in total and roughly how many units you would accumulate.
Purchases
104
Total invested
$10,400
Units accumulated
0.208
Investing $100 weekly for 2 years means 104 purchases totaling $10,400. At an average price of $50,000 that accumulates about 0.208 units. DCA spreads your entry across many prices, so your real average depends on how the market actually moves, not a single guess.
How this is calculated
purchases = frequency per year x years; total = amount x purchases; units = total / average price
- You supply an assumed average price. Real DCA buys at many different prices over time, so your actual average will differ.
- Excludes trading fees and does not predict returns; it plans the schedule.
- DCA is a way to reduce timing risk, not a guarantee of profit.
