Interest on my overdraft

Hello,

Apologies if this is not posted in the correct forum.

I have just received a letter from my bank saying that the interest free part of my student overdraft is decreasing at the end of July.

This will mean that I will have £600 which will be interest chargable.

With a rate of 17.81% EAR, how much interest can I expect to be paying a month?


Thanks in advance for any help

    Hi,

    I think the amount you should pay can be calculated as follows:

    600*17.81%=£106.86/12= £8.91 interest per month

    I hope this is correct and of use

    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.
