Entered silver contributions · dated schedule evidence · five price scenarios

Silver DCA Calculator

Reconcile up to 24 entered silver contributions into troy ounces, metal-only weighted price and all-in average cost. Add optional dates, import or copy a contribution CSV, and stress an entered current price without treating any scenario as a forecast.

Keep every cash amount and silver price in one currency. Dates are optional, but enter all dates or none.

Entered

A three-letter label only; no conversion rate is fetched.

This choice changes metal spend and total cash outlay.

Creates five mechanical value scenarios; it is not a live quote.

Import contribution CSV

Header must be exactly date,contribution,price_per_troy_ounce,extra_cost. Dates may be blank only when every row date is blank.

Entered-data boundary: this calculator does not retrieve a silver price, backfill missing dates, verify dealer premiums, calculate tax basis, compare DCA with lump sum, forecast a return or recommend a contribution amount.

How the Silver DCA Calculator works

Metal spend = contribution, or contribution − entered cost
Troy ounces = metal spend ÷ entered silver price per troy ounce
Metal-only weighted price = total metal spend ÷ total troy ounces
All-in average cost = total cash outlay ÷ total troy ounces
Entered-current value = total troy ounces × entered current price

Equal cash amounts are labelled equal-cash. Different amounts still calculate, but the result is labelled variable-cash rather than silently being presented as standard dollar-cost averaging.

Worked example from the audited fixture

Three dated USD 300 contributions buy silver at entered prices of USD 30, USD 25 and USD 35 per troy ounce. Each row adds USD 3 of purchase cost. Total silver is 30.5714285714 oz, total cash outlay is USD 909, metal-only weighted price is USD 29.44/oz and all-in average cost is USD 29.73/oz.

At the entered USD 32 current price, holding value is USD 978.29 and the difference from outlay is +USD 69.29, or +7.6222%. The two entered gaps are 31 and 30 days; those dates are evidence, not a schedule-quality verdict.

Use and limitations

  • Use troy ounces and a per-troy-ounce silver price; do not mix grams, coins, bar count or gross package weight.
  • Enter premiums, commissions, shipping or other acquisition costs once. Do not duplicate a cost already embedded in the entered silver price.
  • The currency field is only a label. Convert mixed-currency records before entering them.
  • Dates are optional schedule evidence. The tool does not infer holidays, settlement dates or missing contributions.
  • No market history, live quote, historical return, storage cost, insurance cost, spread, tax lot or disposal rule is supplied.
  • DCA does not guarantee a lower average cost, profit or protection from loss.

Frequently asked questions

  • Each row divides entered silver spend by its entered per-troy-ounce price. Total metal spend divided by total acquired troy ounces gives the weighted metal-only average.
  • It is total entered cash outlay divided by acquired troy ounces. Entered premiums or fees add cash without adding silver, so all-in cost can exceed the metal-only weighted price.
  • A simple mean gives every entered price equal weight. The weighted result reflects how many troy ounces each cash contribution actually acquired.
  • No. Leave all dates blank for an undated calculation. If you use dates, every row needs one and the rows must be in strictly increasing date order.
  • It accepts four columns with the exact header date, contribution, price_per_troy_ounce, extra_cost. A maximum of 24 data rows is supported.
  • They multiply your entered current price by 75%, 90%, 100%, 110% and 125% and revalue the same ounces. They are mechanical cases, not forecasts.
  • No. Tax treatment can depend on jurisdiction, product, fees, disposal method and recordkeeping. This page only reconciles the entered acquisition arithmetic.
  • No. Results depend on future prices and costs. Repeated purchases do not remove market risk or guarantee that DCA will beat another purchase schedule.
