Default mortgage interest

Hi Tracy,

In part, the answer depends on how fequently interest is charged. Although it might be calculated daily, it might only be charged
monthly. Plus, some financial institutions calculate the daily & monthly interest on the basis of a year having 12 30-day months, so
interest for a 365 or 366 day year is calculated as if there were only 360 days (30 per month, even for February).

Hi, What is the correct excel formula to calculate the monthly interest on an interest only mortgage of £100,000 at a rate of
3.75% per year where the interest is calculated daily?
At present I use

=((C22*C19)/12)

where C22 is £100,000 and C19 is 3.75% but the result is not the same as what I am being charged each month.
Thanks, Tracy
