DCA planner

New
Set how much you buy, how often and for how long, then pick a growth rate. The chart shows what you put in against what it could be worth: a projection from your assumptions.

Your plan

$

How often

years
%

The coin’s price change each year, assumed steady.

Scenario

$

Invested once, at the start.

A projection, not a prediction

The coin is assumed to change by exactly the yearly rate you set. Real prices rise and fall in jumps, and the order of good and bad years changes the result.

Invested and projected value

What you will have put in, and what it would be worth at the rate you set.

For information only. Not financial advice. A steady growth rate is an assumption: real returns vary from year to year and can be negative.

Questions

Is this a prediction?

No. It assumes the coin’s price changes by exactly the rate you set, every year. Real prices move in jumps and drops, and the order of good and bad years changes what a plan ends up worth.

What do bear, base and bull mean?

Three starting points: the price falling 30% a year, rising 10% a year, and rising 50% a year. They are round numbers to compare against, not forecasts. Move the slider to try any rate.

How is it worked out?

Each purchase happens at the start of its period and grows at the yearly rate, compounded per period, until the end of the plan. Invested is every purchase added up; value is what they are all worth at the end.

How is this different from the DCA calculator?

The DCA calculator replays a plan against real past prices. The planner looks forward from the assumptions you choose.
