Dollar-Cost Averaging Investment Calculator

Estimate shares accumulated and average cost from recurring contributions across a sequence of entered average prices.

Private by design. Inputs and calculations stay in this browser tab. No financial or property values are uploaded.

Scenario inputs

DCA Calculator

Each contribution buys contribution amount divided by the assumed price for that period; average cost equals total contributions divided by total shares.

Calculated view
Total contributed$6,000.00
Estimated shares54.72
Average cost / share$109.64
End-period value at ending price$6,566.89

This simplified scenario interpolates average prices between the start and end inputs; real market prices vary irregularly.

This calculator is an educational planning tool. Verify financing, tax, legal, investment and accounting decisions using the authoritative documents and professionals that apply to your situation.

Why this tool is different

Estimate shares accumulated and average cost from recurring contributions across a sequence of entered average prices. OpenFileTools exposes the inputs, formulas and scenario effects so the estimate remains auditable.

Requirements and recommendations

Model the decision with explicit assumptions

  • Enter realistic assumptions instead of best-case values.
  • Use the scenario lab to see which assumption changes the result most.
  • Verify taxes, rates, fees, legal rules and market inputs from authoritative sources before making a real decision.
How OpenFileTools processes it

Local processing, explicit choices.

The browser evaluates the published calculation from your inputs and recomputes a bounded sensitivity range around the selected scenario variable. No external market feed or hidden scoring service is called.
