Example How the Cumulative Term Deposit works
Let’s consider a company that has decided to use this service as a retention tool for its employees and would like to contribute a certain percentage of employees’ monthly salary depending on the length of service, seniority and performance of the employee. Below is an indicative table of ranges that a company could adapt and use:
Seniority
Senior manager
Middle manager
Junior levels
Years of employment
Contribution (% of net salary)

Above 10

As an example we will take the case of a senior manager having 5 years of creditable service, earning a net monthly salary of AMD600,000 and with salary increase of 4% per annum. The Table 1 (page 6) shows the details of this example and how much the senior manager could receive after 20 years. Upon maturity of the deposit, the repayment(s) could be exercised as per the senior manager’s decision: either (a) in a lump sum, (b) monthly regular payments. In case of monthly payments, for example, equal portions during a 10 year period, the monthly payment for the above described case will be AMD587,911.
