Dollar-Cost Averaging Calculator

See the average cost per share when a fixed amount is invested on a schedule at changing prices.

Average cost per share

How it works

A fixed amount buys more shares when the price is low and fewer when it is high, so the average cost lands below the average price.

Example

24 purchases of $500 starting at $25 with 1% drift average $27.96 per share against an average price of $28.10.

Frequently asked questions

Do these tools use live market data?

No. Nothing is fetched; you enter the prices, rates, and assumptions yourself.

Does the calculator send my numbers anywhere?

No. The calculation runs locally in your browser.

Are projected returns guaranteed?

No. A projection repeats the rate you entered every year, which real markets never do.
