As I responded in your original thread.... And that computes to 0.099998 (rounded) -- closer to 0.10, but "close enough", I think. Perhaps wherever you are reading "0.09" (a bank statement?) chose to truncate the result, instead of round. Anyway, the point is: your formula is correct, if you are trying to compute interest based on daily balance. You merely have a couple insignificant typos in your description, namely: (a) it is "day since last __transaction__" (not translation); and (b) it is "/365" (not / 36). So why do you think your result is wrong? You neglected to say what is the result of __your__ calculation. |
