How are dividends calculated? Is it flat rate/prorated..? Say I purchase shares worth 20k in January and 30k in August, how much dividend will I get come next year? Lets say the rate is 10%

Thanks!

January contribution = 20,000 x 10% x 11/12 (it was held for 11 months)
August contribution = 30, 000 × 10% × 4/12 (it was held for 4 months)
Take the two amounts and remove withholding tax of 5%
Dividend = 1,833.33

@GG Sasa what is this??

There was 690m share capital as at 31 Dec! 61m (9%) was paid as dividend...

Is that how dividend is calculated on the NSE??

@guru, don't confuse shares and deposits. Dividends on shares are computed using amounts as at 31 Dec. Deposits are computed based on the period held by the sacco.
All members have a equal number of shares, usually 20k for deposit taking saccos.

@GG seriously what are you smoking tonight?? Laughing out loudly Shame on you Laughing out loudly

The question is on buying shares and has nothing to do with deposits!

Unaitas shares can be purchased over the counter and have nothing to do with deposits... Members DO NOT have equal number of shares!

In other words one can be a shareholder and have no deposits and can have deposits and no shares!

If they buy 20k of SHARES in January and 30k of SHARES in August they will have 50K SHARE CAPITAL as at 31st Dec.

10% OF 50K SHARE CAPITAL HELD AT 31ST DEC IS 5K! Simple....

The CEo addressed the worshippers at Holy Family as the workers took the muhothi(Sunday collection).. couldn't help but wonder if that added to shares..

@guru I support your argument, Unaitas dividends are normally calculated on the basis of no. of shares held as per the books closure i.e 31st Dec regardless of when you bought them.

Minimum shares is 100 and you can have shares but no deposits eg I have shares but my account balance is below 500.

I usually set aside the cash that am willing to buy shares in the Sacco and place the money in fixed deposits such that they mature by early Dec and then I buy shares before their books closure.
