What is Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)?

DCA is an investment strategy where you buy a fixed dollar amount of an asset on a regular schedule (e.g. weekly or monthly), regardless of the price. This helps reduce the impact of volatility on your average entry price.

Is this calculator based on real historical data?

Yes. Prices are pulled live from the CoinGecko public API for the exact date range you choose, rather than a hardcoded estimate. Results are still a simulation of the past and are not a prediction of future returns.

Is this financial advice?

No. This tool is for educational and illustrative purposes only. It does not account for fees, taxes, or slippage, and past performance never guarantees future results. Please consult a licensed financial advisor before making investment decisions.

Frequently asked questions

Why use DCA instead of Lump Sum?

Lump sum depends entirely on entry timing. DCA spreads purchases across highs and lows, which can reduce the emotional and financial impact of buying right before a downturn — though it can also underperform lump sum in a strong bull run.

Is this simulation based on real historic data?

Yes — prices are fetched live from the CoinGecko API for your selected date range, not hardcoded estimates. It's still a backward-looking simulation, not a prediction.
