Model a recurring investment plan using the prices you enter. This tool is designed for education and planning, not live market monitoring.
Dollar-cost averaging means investing a fixed amount at regular intervals instead of trying to time one purchase.
Kaavon uses the investment amount and the asset prices you enter to calculate the units accumulated and the average purchase price.
Results are based entirely on the prices you enter. Kaavon does not currently fetch live or historical market prices for this calculator.
This calculator is for educational purposes only. It does not predict future returns or provide investment advice.
How it's calculated
- Units bought each period = investment amount ÷ price that period
- Average purchase price = total invested ÷ total units
- Current value = total units × current price
Worked example
- $100 invested each month
- Prices over four months: $50, $40, $25, $40
- Current price: $45
Result: Total invested $400.00; units 11; average price $36.36; current value $495.00
Computed with this calculator's own formula.
How to read the result
Because a fixed amount buys more units when the price is low, the average purchase price under DCA ends up below the simple average of the prices paid (here, below $38.75). DCA reduces the risk of investing everything at a single bad moment; it doesn't guarantee a profit.
Limitations
- Results depend entirely on the prices you enter; the calculator doesn't fetch historical prices.
- Each price is treated as one purchase; it doesn't model calendar dates or fees.
- In a steadily rising market, investing a lump sum at the start would have done better than DCA.
