DCA Calculator
Model a dollar-cost averaging strategy — see total invested and projected future value over time.
Set your investment plan
Enter your initial lump sum, your regular monthly amount, and how long you plan to keep investing. These three numbers define your dollar-cost averaging strategy.
Choose an expected return
Add a conservative estimate of the average annual return you expect. The calculator uses this to project how your regular contributions could grow over time.
See your projected future value
Your results show the total you'll have invested and the projected future value of your plan. Adjust the numbers to explore different scenarios and find a plan that fits your budget.
See the power of investing regularly
Dollar-cost averaging — investing a fixed amount on a regular schedule — takes the stress out of timing the market. This calculator shows you exactly how a steady, consistent plan can add up over time.
- Visualise how small, regular contributions grow into a meaningful sum over months and years.
- Take the guesswork out of 'when to buy' by seeing the value of a consistent, disciplined approach.
- Compare different monthly amounts and timeframes to find a plan that fits your budget.
- Understand the difference between what you put in and what it could be worth — the core of any investment plan.
DCA Projection
Projection assumes contributions grow at a steady annual rate. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results — crypto is volatile and your outcome will differ.
