# Returns

Returns depend on the performance of the DAO but also must factor in payments for team members. Here's the breakdown and an example:

**Profit Description**: DAO profit includes their share of the profit from the ATG, passive income from the DAO, and profit from DAO investments.

**DAO Profit Breakdown**:

* 20%: Investment Manager
* 5%: Multi-sig, 1% per member.
* 75%: DAO Members
  * 37.5% Dividend Payouts
  * 37.5% Treasury Growth

**Real Example**:

*Assume the DAO makes $600 profit during a 30-day period (real example)*

* IM Share: $120
* Multi-Sig Share: $150, $30 per member
* DAO Members Share: $450
  * $225: Dividends
    * Encourages longevity + $23/1000 AVD monthly
  * $225: Treasury Growth
    * 2% growth monthly/24% Yearly

**Note**: $600 is a 5.4% return monthly, which is around what we actually get but this can vary. If somehow we incur a loss, no funds are paid out to anyone.
