Crypto DCA Calculator
Track the average cost and profit of dollar-cost averaging (DCA) into Bitcoin or any crypto.
About the Crypto DCA Calculator
List each purchase as the amount spent and the price paid, enter today's price and the exchange fee. The calculator gives the coins you hold, your average cost per coin and your profit or loss.
Dollar-cost averaging means buying a fixed amount at regular intervals regardless of price, so you buy more coins when prices are low. Your average cost per coin is total spent ÷ coins bought, which is always at or below the simple average of the prices. Exchange and network fees reduce the coins you receive.
The formula
Average cost = total spent ÷ total coins; P/L = coins × current price − total spent
Worked example
Four buys of 100 at 60,000, 52,000, 48,000 and 65,000; 0.5% fee
- Coins: 0.00717548 for 400
- Average cost: 55,745.39 per coin
- At 72,000 they're worth 516.63: +116.63 (29.2%)
