How to Calculate Crypto DCA Step-by-Step

  1. 1Set how much you invest each month.
  2. 2Choose the number of months you will DCA.
  3. 3Enter the starting token price at the first purchase.
  4. 4Set an assumed annual growth rate (positive or negative).
  5. 5Compare total invested vs projected portfolio value and ROI.

Governing formula

Each period: tokens += PMT / price; price *= (1 + monthly growth)

Simulates dollar-cost averaging with a constant annualized growth assumption.

Example: set Monthly Investment ($) = 250, Months of DCA = 24, Starting Token Price ($) = 40,000, then read the result.

Variable definitions

  • PMT

  • P_0

    Starting price

Frequently Asked Questions

This tool uses a smooth growth assumption. Historical DCA needs real price series; use this for planning scenarios, not backtests.
