🧮 Calculations

For Each Month:

Monthly Payment:

Always: ₹5,000 (monthly installment)
Consistent across all months

Chit Win Amount:

Formula: Total Value - (Commission × Duration)

Example:
Total Value: ₹1,00,000
Commission: ₹250/month
Duration: 20 months

Chit Win = ₹1,00,000 - (₹250 × 20)
         = ₹1,00,000 - ₹5,000
         = ₹95,000

Winner receives: ₹95,000

Total Summary:

Total Collection:

Formula: Monthly Installment × Duration × Members

Example: ₹5,000 × 20 × 20 members = ₹20,00,000

Total Commission:

Formula: Commission × Duration

Example: ₹250 × 20 = ₹5,000

Net Distribution:

Formula: Total Value

Example: ₹1,00,000 (to winners over time)
