Every condominium community calculates this differently, and your answer is available in your governing documents.
Look in every index for 'Allocated Interest', and review which scheme is in use for your community.
Often, interest is divided by unit square footage, or a raw percentage of total ownership.
- The square footage model is usually used in communities where some units are situated in a more 'desirable' location than other units, i.e., top floor penthouses.
- The raw percentage model is used if all units are equally desirable and of an equal size.
To find the particular undivided interest of any particular unit can be difficult in some cases. If all the units were created at the same time, the common interests remain static and can usually be determined by an exhibit attached to the Master Deed. That information is required by most, if not all, condominium statutes.
However, in some jurisdictions, condominium projects are created in phases over a period of time. In that case, when completed units are sold, the developer builds a few more units using the proceeds. As units are added the undivided interests change for all the units (so they always add up to 100%) and are set forth in a new exhibit to each phasing amendment to the Master Deed. The final analysis can be difficult to determine and must be accomplished by a review of all the condo documents that have been recorded in the land records.

How much money will 500 dollars accumulate over 20 years at 5 percent interest?
That depends on whether you are getting 5% simple interest, or compound interest, and how often it is compounded. Simple interest is very easy to calculate; you just multiply. $500 at 5% earns 5% of $500 every year, which is $25, so in 20 years the interest earned is 20 x $25 or $500, for a total of $1,000. But if you put the money in a savings account in a bank, you get compound interest. It can be compounded annually, semi-annually, quarterly, monthly, or daily. The more often it is compounded, the more you earn. Nowadays you can get daily interest, but that is kind of complicated because it depends on whether you figure the interest for every single day, 365 days a year and 366 in a leap year, or the traditional banking custom of 360 days a year. For example, if you compound annually, every year your balance is multiplied by 1.05, so after 20 years you would have 500 x 1.0520, which is $1.326.65 to the nearest cent.

Do you own land when you own a condominium?
You don't own any particular plot of land as an individual. You own a percentage interest in all the land in the condominium project along with all the other unit owners. That percentage is recited in the deed for each unit. You own a shared interest in the common areas and that includes the land.Generally, a condominium is a distinct form of ownership in the U. S. (and other countries) whereby an individual owns a unit and shares joint ownership of the common areas with the other unit owners, which includes the land. In addition to owning your own unit of a condominium building in fee, you would also be part owner of the land upon which the condominium is constructed.For example, a typical Massachusetts condominium deed would state: "Unit #2 of the Old Mill River Condominium together with a .05% interest in the common areas and facilities." That owner would own a .05% fee interest in the common areas along with the land encompassed by the condominium project. Similar language is used in other jurisdictions.For a discussion of what you own when you own a condo unit in the State of Washington see the following:http://www.ticorblog.com/blog/condo-or-co-op-whats-the-difference/See also the following related question discussing the difference between condominium units and townhouse units:Does_a_townhouse_own_the_land_beneath_it_whereas_a_condominium_owners_own_only_the_unit_plus_a_part_of_shared_common_grounds_and_amenities
Does undivided interest lower the value of the land?
No. An undivided interest in property means that two or more persons own the real estate and each has the right to the use and possession of the entire property even if they own only a one-half undivided interest.
Can one party of an undivided interest change the percentages without the consent of the other undivided interest parties?
Absolutely not.They can only manage what they own. They can't take possession of someone else's property.

They cannot be changed by a co-owner unless the co-owner buys out another owner's interest and acquires it by deed.
With minerals what rights does an owner with 50 percent undivided interest have?
If you own an undivided one-half interest that means you own a 50% interest in the whole property. That would come into play if the mineral rights, the property, or a portion thereof was sold. For example, if the mineral rights were sold you would be legally entitled to 50% of the net profit. The buyer would be required to cut a check for that amount in your name.
