About Crypto Average Cost Calculator

Buying fixed currency amounts rather than fixed quantities means you buy more coins when prices are low, which pulls the average cost below the simple mean of the two prices. That is cost averaging working in your favour.

Formula

Average cost

Average = total invested / total quantity, quantity = amount / price for each buy

Worked example

With the default values below, Crypto Average Cost Calculator returns Average Cost Per Coin of $2,462,686.57. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the average below the midpoint of the prices?

Because the same money buys more units at the lower price, so the cheaper purchase carries more weight.

Does averaging reduce risk?

It reduces timing risk, not asset risk. A permanently falling asset still loses money.
