There is a bit more to it than that, but that could give you a figure to work from. If you are thinking of making an offer then ask your ip to give you a figure that they think would be acceptable. This would also depend on where the funds are coming from, the reason you want to complete early and how long there is left to go.

This type of offer can be made for a number of reasons, and the amount payable calculated in a number of different ways.

I work on the basis that any application for a full and final offer ought to be based upon you returning the full amount of the original dividend pledged. If a client is unable to do so, but still wishes the offer to proceed, then a lower offer can be put forward with justification for the revision.

I agree with Melanie in part. The starting point is what was originally promised. But if you are in a 5 year IVA and have completed 12 or 18 months - it might be possible to offer between 10% to 15% less as creditors might prefer cash now rather than wait until the full term. It also depends on a number of factors like pending redundancy now that the economy is failing.
