Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is an investment strategy where you invest a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, regardless of the asset price. This approach reduces the impact of volatility by buying more shares when prices are low and fewer when prices are high, resulting in a lower average cost per share over time. The formula for average cost is: Average Cost = Total Invested / Total Shares Acquired. The total shares acquired is the sum of each investment divided by the price at that time. This calculator helps investors evaluate their DCA strategy by computing the average cost per share, total shares, current value, and profit/loss. It is useful for long-term investors in stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds who want to reduce the risk of market timing and smooth out price fluctuations.
