    Depends on the interest rate.

    Typical is 20% so around 3p (I did 20% of £10. Divided by 365, * by 5 days)

    OK your balance will go down to -£10. Each day you are -£10 you get charged 0.5p. This adds up into the computer until charging time. You will then get charged 3p assuming you go 5-6 days overdrawn. This will come at X time. If you stay in your overdraft by £10 you will go from -£10 to -£10.03 at somepoint.

    You can stay in overdraft til whenever, but the interest will continue to be put on. It does not get put on each day but on a set period, usually a month later.
