Ethereum DCA Calculator — Dollar-Cost Average ETH
Same weekly-buy story as the DCA calculator, with Ethereum as the default.
Guide
How do you DCA Ethereum?
You pick a dollar amount and a payday, buy ETH on that rhythm, and keep the average price you paid. This calculator values that pile at a price you type. It does not assume you staked, and it does not assume a wrapped token like stETH stays exactly equal to ETH.
Ethereum dollar-cost averaging is the same cash habit as Bitcoin: amount × buys, then coins, then value today. Buy $50 of ETH every payday for a year. That is 24 buys if you are paid twice a month, or $1,200 in. If your average fill is $3,000, you hold 0.40 ETH. At $3,600 that pile is $1,440 — $240 up on paper, before tax. Staking can add extra ETH later; run the staking calculator after this one. On Ethereum mainnet, a network fee can dwarf a $50 buy, which is why many people use a cheaper network or an exchange recurring buy and withdraw less often. This page does not use a live ETH ticker. Your fills are the source of truth.
Example
Ethereum DCA example: $50 every payday
- Each payday
- $50
- 24 pays
- $1,200 in
- At $3,600
- $1,440
If you bought on Ethereum mainnet every payday, fees could eat a painful slice of that $50. An exchange recurring buy, or a cheaper network, is usually the practical version of this plan.
| Step | In words | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Cash in | Amount each time × how many times | $50 × 24 = $1,200 |
| 2. Coins | Cash in ÷ average fill | $1,200 ÷ $3,000 = 0.40 ETH |
| 3. Value today | Coins × the price you want to check | 0.40 × $3,600 = $1,440 |
| Up or down | Value today minus cash in | $1,440 − $1,200 = $240 |
Limits
What this Ethereum DCA calculator cannot do
- It will not pull a live ETH price.
- It will not assume you staked, or that stETH stays exactly equal to ETH.
- It will not include network fees unless you bake them into the prices you type.
If you already stacked ETH and you want a picture of extra tokens, use the staking calculator next.

Pick a dollar amount and a payday rhythm, buy ETH on that rhythm, and keep the average price you paid. This calculator values that pile at a price you type. It does not assume you staked.
ETH is the coin. stETH (and similar) is ETH plus a staking wrapper, which can trade a little off 1:1. Count them separately if you hold both.
Staking can grow how many tokens you end with. It does not change the buy formula. Run this page first, then the staking calculator on the ETH you already stacked.
On Ethereum mainnet, the network fee can dwarf a $50 buy. Many people use a cheaper network or an exchange recurring buy, then move less often.
Usually not until you sell, trade, or spend it. A green number here is a paper gain.
No. Type the average fill from your exchange and the price you want to check.
Still use the average price you actually paid. The calculator does not care which network, only the dollars and the fills.
No. It is a snapshot at the price you typed. If ETH is cheaper tomorrow, the pile is worth less.
