Chama contribution calculator

Plan your group savings. See the monthly pool, what each member puts in, how much the money could grow, and what a merry-go-round turn pays out.

Plan it before you pool it

Work out your chama numbers

No mystery, just arithmetic

How this is worked out

  • Monthly pool = number of members times the monthly contribution per member.
  • Total contributed = monthly pool times the number of months.
  • Growth uses compound interest on the pool, with each contribution added at the end of the month. If you leave the return empty, growth is zero.
  • A merry-go-round turn pays out one full month of the pool, and a full cycle takes one month per member.
