Daily Simple Interest loan calculation involves a method by which the interest on a mortgage loan is calculated on a daily basis. The loan balance is reduced on the day when the payment is reduced rather than on the day when payment is due.
Under the Daily Simple Interest formulae, the daily interest rate is given by:
Daily Rate= Annual Rate/365
Amount of interest payable each month = Number of days since last payment * principal outstanding balance * Interest Rate factor
Let's take an example where outstanding principal balance is $10000. You've sent in a payment of $170 around 30 days after your previous month's payment. Let's say the interest rate is 8.5% (the interest rate factor is .00022585)
As per the above formulae,
Interest payable each month = 30 * 10000 * .00022585 = $67.7555
Daily Interest = Daily rate * loan balance
Under the Daily Simple Interest formulae, the daily interest rate is given by:
Daily Rate= Annual Rate/365
Amount of interest payable each month = Number of days since last payment * principal outstanding balance * Interest Rate factor

As per the above formulae,
Interest payable each month = 30 * 10000 * .00022585 = $67.7555
Daily Interest = Daily rate * loan balance
How are you billed for a daily loan that charges daily simple interest if the loan is tied into an index that changes daily. How would you know what your actual payment would be by the due date? In trying to pay the interest early (putting more to principal),.
To determine the amount of interest you will be required to pay on each month, use the following formula called the Simple Daily Interest formula:
Number of days since last payment x Principal Balance Outstanding x Interest Rate Factor
= Interest Amount
Example: Let's say the remaining balance on your loan is $9500.00. You sent in a payment of $160.00, 32 days after your previous month's payment. Your interest rate is 8.25% (interest rate factor is .00022587).
32 (days) x $9500.00 (PBO) x .00022587 (interest rate factor)
You would pay $68.66 toward interest and $91.34 toward the principal balance. This would leave you with a loan balance of $9408.66 after the $160.00 payment was applied.
I hope this will give you a fair idea about the calculation.

Hi Pat,
Welcome to MortgageFit Forums.
I shall give it a try to explain you the method of calculation but it's better if you take the help of a professional rather than trying yourself.
In simple interest loan your annual rate is divided by 365 and is thus converted into a daily rate. The daily rate is multiplied by the loan balance to calculate the interest that becomes due for the day.
The amount that is obtained as a result is recorded in a special accrual account, which increases by that amount every day. No interest gets accrued on this account.
After the receipt of the payment it is applied first to the accrual account and the left over is used to lower the balance. As the balance decreases, a new and smaller daily interest charge is calculated.
Looks a bit complicated?:) I think once you get the calculation done for your details with a professional it will be easier to you.
God bless you.

Here you have a flat rate of interest that is not compounded and is usually expressed as an annual rate.
The calculation for one day of simple interest is
(loan balance x interest rate)/365 = daily amount of interest
James
The calculation for one day of simple interest is
(loan balance x interest rate)/365 = daily amount of interest

what is the formula to calculate interest rate factor.

Hi Sanwar,
If we consider the principal amount to be P, the number of years to be n, the annual interest rate to be i, then we can find out the amount to be received after the specified n years by using the formula:
A = P(1+ni). Here A is indicated as the amount to be received.
Now, to calculate the interest rate i, we can use the following formula:
i = ([A/P]-1)/n.

larry could you please give an example?
Mike,
You can refer to my post above for the calculation of interest.

Is "daily simple interest" in my best interest, versus a regular fixed annual rate?
Welcome Joanne.
Whether daily simple interest is better or not, will depend more upon how much you can pay, your loan amount, the current rate offered in both simple interest and annual interest rate types etc. By the way, are you talking about your mortgage? can you give me some more details of your loan so that i can give you a better idea.
Thanks.

Although the formulas posted are useful, you would be best getting a proffesional to look at your debt. Nothing worse than miscalculation leading to money dificulties.
I have plugged numbers in each of the calculations above and none of them come out right? in the opening example daily rate is annual rate divided by 365. if the annual rate is 8.5% then the daily rate would be .00023287 but you use .00022585 as the interest rate factor. why the difference?
it doesn't look like larry's answer has anything to do with Sanwar's question. Sanwar asked how to calculate interest rate factor and larry's answer has to do with "the amount to be received after the specified years". usually i can follow these things but even adonis' example 8.25% divided by 365 is .00022602 not the number he used for interest rate factor .00022587.
well O'Connor, can you recalculate the figures here?
i am not the teacher but the student. i am trying to understand.
if i take Rs. 50000 on loan and return it in twelve installment of Rs. 5000 per month. than what will rate of interest?
