DCA vs. Lump Sum Simulator

How to Compare Strategies

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.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

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.
