Your plan

Your 52-week ipon plan — every date and amount

A goal, a way to save and the day of week 1. You get the deposit for every week, the running total and the chart; the tracker prints on one sheet of A4 by width.

  1. Print the tracker or keep the Excel on your phone; tick the box every week.
  2. Sign the pledge with an ipon buddy — someone who asks you about it every month.
  3. When the weeks end: put the total to work in Pag-IBIG MP2 (step 2) or keep it as your emergency fund.

Arithmetic only: increasing — week n × step, step = goal ÷ (1 + 2 + … + N) rounded up to the peso (₱10 × 52 weeks = ₱13,780); same amount — goal ÷ N rounded up; ₱20 bills — goal ÷ ₱20 ÷ N bills a week rounded up. Bank deposits are insured by PDIC up to ₱1 million per depositor, per bank.

An alkansya is the simplest place for the weekly money, but it earns nothing. A separate savings account is insured by PDIC; MP2 earns dividends but locks the money for 5 years except for the reasons Pag-IBIG lists.

Step by step

What to do, in order

  1. 1

    Pick a goal and a mode

    Enter a target. Increasing is the classic; same amount is easier to budget; ₱20 bills suits cash in hand.

  2. 2

    Pick week 1

    Choose the weekday you are paid or get cash. The calculator dates every deposit.

  3. 3

    Print the tracker

    Download the Excel or print the plan below. Put it where you see it.

  4. 4

    Sign the pledge

    Add an ipon buddy who checks on you every month.

  5. 5

    Deposit and tick the box

    Missed a week? Add it to the next one — the total stays the same.

  6. 6

    Make it earn

    When the 52 weeks end, the total can go to Pag-IBIG MP2 — step 2.

Questions

What is the 52-week ipon challenge?

You save a little more each week: ₱10 in week 1, ₱20 in week 2, up to ₱520 in week 52 — ₱13,780 in a year. The calculator does the same for any goal.

Can I do it for ₱100,000?

Yes: about ₱73 × the week number, which is ₱3,796 in week 52. If that is too much at the end, choose "same amount every week" — about ₱1,924 a week.

I want it by Christmas. When do I start?

Count back 52 weeks from your last deposit. For Christmas 2027, week 1 is on 28 December 2026; starting earlier works too — enter your own date.
