Subscription Multiplier Calculation

The amount of funds used for subscribing to an account is calculated as follows:

  • If the subscription is made when creating a new account, the available balance on that account is used.
    • If the subscription is made using an existing account, the system performs the following steps:
      1. Balance Check: If the total balance of assets is less than the minimum subscription amount, the message "Not enough money" is displayed.
      2. Subscription Amount Calculation:
      • The minimum subscription amount is subtracted from the Total Assets - 1%.
      • The result is divided by the subscription step and rounded down to the nearest whole number.
      • The resulting value is multiplied by the subscription step and added to the minimum subscription amount.
      1. Multiplier Calculation: The final subscription amount (in the account's balance currency) is divided by the recommended subscription amount.
Important! Subscription is possible for an amount of funds that is no more than 99% of the value of the Total assets indicator.
Example: Balance available on the subscriber's account (account's Total assets): 50,515 (The amount used for calculation is 50,010 USD (50,515 - 1%) Minimum deposit for subscribing to a public account: 50,000 USD Subscription step: 100 USD Recommended deposit for subscription: 200 USD

The calculation is performed as follows: 50,010 (subscriber account balance) - 50,000 (minimum deposit) = 10 10 / 100 = 0.1 (rounded down to zero) 0 * 100 (subscription step) = 0

Thus, a subscriber with a balance of 50,010 USD can subscribe with an amount of 50,000 USD.

The multiplier is calculated as 50,000 (subscription amount) / 200 (recommended deposit): 50,000 / 200 = 250

Example using the full formula: Multiplier = Minimum deposit + ((Subscriber's account balance - Minimum deposit)/Subscription step) rounded down * Subscription step / Recommended deposit Subscriber's account balance (account's Total assets) = 76,667 USD Subscriber's account balance (minus 1%) = 75,900 USD Recommended deposit = 40,000 Minimum deposit = 40,000 Subscription step = 3,000
Multiplier = 40 000 + ((75 900 - 40 000) / 3000) * 3000 / 40 000 = 1.825
