DCA vs. Lump Sum Simulator
This tool simulates two common investment strategies to see which might perform better under your specified market conditions.
1. Lump Sum Investing:You invest your entire amount at the very beginning.
2. Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA):You invest your total amount in equal, periodic installments over time.
How to Use:First, enter the total amount you want to invest and over how many months you want to simulate. Then, for each month, enter a hypothetical market return (e.g., 2 for +2%, -1.5 for -1.5%). The simulator will calculate the final value for both strategies.
This is a simplified simulation based on the hypothetical returns you provide. It is not a prediction of future performance. Real-world returns are not guaranteed and this tool does not account for taxes or fees.
Compare investment strategies with hypothetical returns.
