Crypto DCA & Average Cost Calculator
Bought the same coin at three different prices and lost track of where you actually stand? Add each buy below and get your true average cost, break-even price, coins accumulated and live profit or loss — across 200+ coins, without a spreadsheet.
Your buys
Add at least one buy (amount + price paid) to see your average cost, break-even and live P&L.
Why average cost is the number that matters
After a few buys at different prices, your entry isn't any single price you paid — it's the weighted average of all of them. That number decides everything:
- Break-even — the price the coin must reclaim before you're green. It moves every time you buy.
- Real P&L — exchanges show per-lot profit; your portfolio lives and dies by the blended number.
- The next buy — seeing how much a fresh buy at today's price would move your average turns “should I average down?” into arithmetic.
DCA removes timing from your buying. What it can't do is tell you whether the market goes up or down next — that's a prediction, and predictions are testable.

Frequently asked questions
What is DCA (dollar-cost averaging) in crypto?
Dollar-cost averaging means buying a fixed dollar amount on a schedule — say $100 every week — instead of one lump sum. You automatically buy more coins when the price is low and fewer when it's high, which smooths out volatility and removes the pressure of timing the market perfectly.
How is my average cost calculated?
Total dollars invested ÷ total coins accumulated. Each buy converts to coins at the price you paid (amount ÷ price); the calculator sums both columns across all your buys. That weighted average is your true cost basis — and your break-even price.
What's the difference between average cost and break-even?
Before fees, they're the same number: if the price is above your average cost, you're in profit. If you pay trading fees, your effective break-even sits slightly above your average cost — add your exchange's fee percentage on top for a conservative read.
Does averaging down work?
Averaging down lowers your break-even, so a smaller recovery gets you back to profit — but it also concentrates more money in the same falling asset. The math is what this calculator shows; whether the coin recovers is a judgment call. If you have conviction on the direction, it's worth testing it where accuracy is scored.
