CrowdPay™ HEI Dividend Calculator

Do You Know Your HEI (Household Economic Index)?

HEI (Household Economic Index) – A measure of how much of your monthly cost of living is offset by dividends, reducing the amount you need to personally contribute toward your bills. It represents the percentage of your monthly expenses that you, your spouse, or partner do not have to pay directly as they are being covered by dividend.

For example, if you earn $5000 a month and your living expenses are $4000, you have $1000 left over. If a dividend was added that consistently reduced your required bill deposits by $200, your HEI benefit for that month would be 5%, reflecting the portion of your costs that is covered by the dividend.

Your HEI provides an indicator of how effectively a household can lower its expenses and optimize its budget. By tracking the HEI, families can understand the impact of various financial tools and strategies, such as CrowdPay™, on their overall cost of living and work towards improving their financial stability and efficiency.

$$\text{HEI= (}$$Amount Offset by External Source​ ⁄ Total Monthly Cost of Living) ×100

Whereby:

• Amount Offset by External Source: The total monetary support provided by the external financial source.
• Total Monthly Cost of Living: The total expenses the household incurs each month.

This formula calculates the HEI as a percentage, showing how much of a household’s monthly expenses are being covered by dividend benefits.  For example, if your total monthly cost of living is $4000 and your dividend offsets $200, the HEI would be:

HEI = (200 / 4000) × 100 = 5%
