How this was calculated
- 1Total invested: amount × periods£100.00 × 12 = £1,200.00
- 2Coins acquired: invested ÷ average price£1,200.00 ÷ £30,000.00 = 0.04
- 3Current value: coins × current price0.04 × £58,000.00 = £2,320.00
Formula
Coins = (investment per period × periods) ÷ average price
The total invested is simply the periodic amount times the number of periods. To find how many coins that bought, divide by the average purchase price over that period — your own exchange statement usually shows this average directly. The current value is that coin count times the current price.
Worked examples
€ 100 per month, 12 months, bought at an average of € 30,000, now € 58,000
→ Invested € 1,200, now worth € 2,320, profit € 1,120.
Common mistakes
- Using the current price as the "average purchase price", which erases any profit or loss from the calculation.
Important to know
- This calculator uses an average price you supply; it does not fetch historical price series. For an exact DCA analysis you need your own transaction history.
When to use it
- Evaluating in hindsight whether periodic crypto investing has paid off.
Frequently asked questions
Why is DCA popular?
It spreads purchases over time, so you are not dependent on timing a single entry point in a volatile market.
