In banking, a minimum daily balance is the minimum balance that a banking institution requires account holders to have in their accounts each day in order to waive maintenance fees. [1] This is not to be confused with the average daily balance, which is computed as the sum of daily balances in a billing period divided by the number of days.
Each day, the balance of the account is multiplied by this rate, and at the end of the cycle the total interest is billed to the account. The effect of this method is theoretically mathematically the same over one year as the average daily balance method, because the interest is compounded monthly, but calculated on daily balances.
The general calculation formula most financial institutions use to determine the amount of interest to be charged is (APR/100 x ADB)/365 x number of days revolved. Take the annual percentage rate (APR) and divide by 100 then multiply to the amount of the average daily balance (ADB). Divide the result by 365 and then take this total and multiply ...
Online banks and credit unions tend to offer high-yield savings accounts in place of traditional savings accounts, which pay an average of 10 times more interest on your balance.
CIT Bank’s Platinum Savings account offers a lucrative APY of 4.55%, but this rate requires a daily balance of $5,000 or more. This shouldn't be a problem if you have a large savings balance you ...
As the Fed rate rises, so do APYs on savings accounts, CDs and money market accounts — with today’s rates on the best high-yield savings accounts topping 5% APY.
A formula that is accurate to within a few percent can be found by noting that for typical U.S. note rates (< % and terms =10–30 years), the monthly note rate is small compared to 1. r << 1 {\displaystyle r<<1} so that the ln ( 1 + r ) ≈ r {\displaystyle \ln(1+r)\approx r} which yields the simplification:
The formula contained in this law, which determined the amount due to lenders, was called the "rule of 78" method. The reasoning behind this rule was as follows: A loan of $3000 can be broken into three $1000 payments, and a total interest of $60 into six. During the first month of the loan, the borrower has use of all three $1000 (3/3) amounts.
