How the Crypto Average Price Calculator (DCA Cost Basis) works
Each purchase buys amount ÷ price coins. Your average price is the total spent divided by the total coins, which is not the simple average of the prices: you buy more coins when the price is low.
When you spend the same amount each time (dollar-cost averaging), the average price is the harmonic mean of the prices. Crypto prices are volatile; this is arithmetic, not investment advice.
The formula
Worked example
Using the default values shown in the calculator:
| Amount spent in each purchase | 500, 500, 500, 500 |
|---|---|
| Price per coin in each purchase (same order) | 62000, 54000, 48000, 66000 |
| Current price | $70000 |
- Four buys of 500: average price $56,631.23 for 0.035316 coins.
- At 70,000 the holding shows $472.13.
Result:
| Average buy price | $56,631.23 |
|---|---|
| Coins held | 0.035316 |
| Total spent | $2,000.00 |
| Value now | $2,472.13 |
| Profit or loss | $472.13 |
