Key Terminologies Used
Understanding the outputs helps you make better decisions.
- Initial Deposit: A one-time lump sum saved at the beginning (optional).
This amount earns dividends for the entire saving period. - Monthly Contributions: The total amount you personally save every month across all years.
- Dividend Rate (Interest Rate): The annual return paid by the SACCO on your savings/shares. Most top Kenyan SACCOs historically pay 8%–14% p.a., depending on performance.
- Monthly Weighted Dividend Method: Earlier savings earn dividends longer than later ones. For example: Money saved in January earns dividends for 12 months. Money saved in December earns dividends for 0 months. This weighting is why consistent saving matters more than large late deposits.
- End Balance: Your total SACCO savings after Contributions, Reinvested dividends Compounding over time
