Calculating Daily Interest Accrual
The 365/365 payment calculator calculates interest by multiplying the beginning balance, interest rate, and days in the month and dividing the total by 365.
Example
$100,000 Loan Amount
4% Interest Rate
31 Days in the Month (May)
(100,000 x .004 x 31) / 365 = $339.73 interest paid in May
UGA Finance Payment Calculator
UGA Finance has its own Payment Calculator, which can calculate your Monthly Payment, Principal Paid, Interest Paid, and Total Payment.
The payment calculator can also be used to understand how long it will take to pay off the account. Use the Payoff tab to calculate remaining payments.
Explanation
The 365/365 amortization table is utilized instead of the other common calculations, 30/360 or Actual/360, because of its accuracy. When using 365/365, you divide by the number of days in the year rather than the number of months, which creates a more accurate payment schedule.
