okay.
let's use your scenario above
let's say you have a balance of RM10,000 in your ASB as of 30/6/2013
on 01/07/2013, you add in RM 500
on 08/07/2013, you add in RM 800
on 26/07/2013, you add in RM 200
and let's say the dividend is 8%
based on my experience and confirmation from ASB officers, your July dividend will be counted as:
JULY: lowest balance on 01/07/2013: RM 10,500 * 0.08 / 12 = RM 70.00
AUGUST: lowest balance on 01/08/2013: RM 11,500 * 0.08 / 12 = RM 76.67
hopefully that gives you a clear image on what it meant by "dividend based on the lowest balance in the month"
bonus is an entirely different thing. it is based on the lowest balance of the year x 10 years average
Thanks for the info.
Now in a different scenario.
Say in July he took out RM 5,000 but replaces it a few days later with another RM5000 - what happens?
