Does this planner predict a future price?

No. It divides your target by the amount of Bitcoin your weekly amount buys at today's price. If the price moves, the time to the target moves with it, so the result is a pace check, not a forecast. Past performance does not predict future results.

Why is the time given in weeks?

A weekly amount buys a different amount of Bitcoin each week when the price moves, so the planner counts in weeks at today's price and then converts that count into months and years for readability.

Goal planner: pace, target, time

Pick a Bitcoin target and the amount you would set aside each week. The planner works out how many weeks that pace would take at today's price, and shows the quarter, half and three-quarter marks along the way. It makes no forecast: if the price moves, the time moves with it.

Bitcoin target (BTC)

Amount set aside each week (USD)

Loading today's price...

Enter a target and a weekly amount.

Arithmetic only: Bitcoin per week equals your weekly amount divided by today's price, and weeks to the target equal the target divided by Bitcoin per week. Total set aside equals the target multiplied by today's price. Fees, spread and taxes are not included, and a real schedule buys at each week's price, not at today's price throughout.

How to read the result

A longer time is not a worse plan; it is a smaller weekly amount against a larger target. Raise the weekly amount, or lower the target, and the weeks fall. The milestone table breaks the same pace into quarters, so you can see what the first 25 percent looks like before committing to the full distance.

This is a preview of the planner in the app, where a plan can be saved on your device and tracked against real weekly purchases. On the web, the same pace can be replayed on past prices with the DCA calculator, and the cost of fees on a regular schedule is shown by the fee calculator.
