This DCA calculator simulates how much your investment can grow by contributing a fixed amount every month.

FAQ
What is dollar-cost averaging (DCA)?
It's investing a fixed amount at regular intervals — for example, every month — instead of all at once. That way you buy more shares when prices are low and fewer when they're high, smoothing out the effect of market timing.
Does DCA guarantee a profit?
No. It reduces the risk of investing at the wrong moment and adds discipline, but the actual return still depends on the market and can be negative.
What return rate should I use in the simulation?
A conservative long-term estimate for the assets you plan to invest in. The calculator assumes that same annual return applies every month, which is a simplification — real markets move up and down along the way.
