Simulating DCA into BNB
Set the amount per period, the number of periods and a start/end price for BNB (BNB); the tool buys every period along a linear price path.
The start price is pre-filled with the 752 USDT reference price and the end price defaults to 977.6 USDT (+30%) — both are editable.

contribution ÷ price that periodsum of coins bought each periodtotal contributed ÷ coins accumulatedcoins accumulated × end priceWorked BNB DCA example (linear model)
500 USDT per period across 12 periods with price moving linearly from 752 to 977.6: 6,000 USDT contributed, about 6.985084 BNB accumulated, average cost near 858.97 USDT, end value about 6,828.62 USDT and a return of roughly +13.81%.

500 USDT per period for 12 periods, price moving linearly from 752 USDT (math model, not historical prices).
Limits of the BNB linear price model
A straight-line price path is not how BNB trades — it is meant to explain how averaging works, not to forecast returns. For real prices switch to the DCA backtest tool.
FAQ
How is the average cost of a BNB DCA plan computed?
Average cost = total contributed ÷ coins accumulated, where coins accumulated = Σ(contribution ÷ period price). Because you buy more BNB when it is cheap, the average cost usually sits below the midpoint of the start and end prices.
What does 500 USDT per period into BNB over 12 periods produce?
With price moving linearly from 752 to 977.6: 6,000 USDT contributed, average cost near 858.97 USDT, end value about 6,828.62 USDT and a return of roughly +13.81% (math model, fees excluded).
