Estimate DCA investment growth, shares purchased, average cost, ending value, profit, ROI, CAGR, fees, and a lump sum comparison.
Recurring contributions:
The same dollar amount is invested on a set schedule.
Shares purchased:
Each contribution buys shares or units at that period’s estimated price.
Average cost:
Total invested divided by total shares or units purchased.
Ending value:
Total shares owned multiplied by the ending or current price.
A DCA calculator helps estimate how recurring investments may grow over time compared with investing a lump sum upfront.
It is useful for ETFs, stocks, crypto, retirement accounts, index investing, long-term savings, and “what if I invested every month” scenarios.
Dollar cost averaging means investing a fixed amount on a recurring schedule, such as weekly or monthly, instead of investing all at once.
No. Enter the starting and ending prices manually, or use the projected price setting.

Yes. This calculator works for crypto, stocks, ETFs, funds, and any investment where recurring purchases are made.
