Frequently Asked Questions
What is dollar-cost averaging in crypto?
DCA means buying a fixed dollar amount of a cryptocurrency at regular intervals regardless of price, rather than buying all at once. It reduces exposure to a single high price and smooths out average cost over time.
Does DCA always beat lump sum?
No. In a consistently rising market, lump sum investing usually produces more coins at a lower average cost because you buy early before prices rise. DCA tends to outperform lump sum in volatile or declining markets.
How do I enter prices for irregular periods?
Enter the price at each purchase separated by commas, such as 28000, 32000, 25000, 35000. The number of values should match the number of periods. The calculator splits the total investment equally across each price.
Are trading fees included?
No. The calculator assumes zero fees for simplicity. In practice, exchange fees of 0.1 to 1.5 percent per transaction reduce coins acquired each period. Subtract fees from your per-period investment to account for them.
