How to use the ARB DCA tool

How to use this Arbitrum Investment Calculator

To use this ARB DCA calculator, fill in the sentence at the top of the page and press Calculate:

  1. Choose the period: Set a start date and a finish date. You can pick any days that have Arbitrum price data.
  2. Set your purchase: Enter how much you buy each time, pick a currency, and choose how often you buy, from daily to yearly.
  3. Add the exchange fee: Enter the percentage fee your exchange charges. The calculator subtracts it from the results.
  4. Read the results: Compare your dollar cost averaging result with buying everything at once on the start date. Scroll down for the chart and the purchase-by-purchase table, and use Copy link to share your exact settings.

How portfolio values are calculated

Each purchase buys Arbitrum at that day's price. The portfolio value is the amount of Arbitrum you have bought so far, multiplied by the price on that day.

For example, if your purchases have added up to 5 Arbitrum and the price is $500, the value is 5 x $500 = $2,500.

Profit is the value minus the total you have put in, and profit % is that profit as a share of the total invested. The lump sum figures use the same method for a single purchase on the start date, equal to the total of all your DCA purchases.

Prices come from CoinGecko and are converted into your chosen currency with the most recent exchange rate from ExchangeRate-API, applied to the whole period. Past results do not predict future returns.

What is Dollar Cost Averaging?

ARB Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is a popular investment strategy that is often used in the world of cryptocurrency. ARB DCA involves investing a fixed amount of money into ARB (Arbitrum) on a regular basis, regardless of the current market price. Because you buy at many different prices, no single purchase has to be perfectly timed.

Here's an example of how ARB DCA works: let's say that you want to invest $500 in Arbitrum. Instead of buying $500 worth of Arbitrum all at once, you could use the ARB DCA strategy to buy $100 worth of Arbitrum every week for five weeks. This means that you would be buying Arbitrum at different prices each week, depending on how the market is moving. If the price of Arbitrum goes up during those five weeks, you will be buying less Arbitrum each week. But if the price of Arbitrum goes down, you will be buying more Arbitrum each week.

The main advantage of the ARB DCA strategy is that it spreads your entry across many prices. A single badly timed purchase has less impact, and you avoid deciding when to buy based on emotion. A schedule set in advance can also make investing easier to stick with.

DCA does not guarantee a better result. If the price rises steadily, buying everything at the start usually ends ahead, because more of your money is invested for longer. DCA tends to look better when the price falls or swings widely after you start, since later purchases buy more Arbitrum at lower prices.

This calculator shows both outcomes side by side for your own dates, so you can compare them using real Arbitrum history. Cryptocurrency prices are volatile, and past results do not predict future returns.
