Bank calculated wrong repayment amount?

Hi all,

I've just been playing around with an overpayment calculator and am either doing something stupid or there is a mistake with our mortgage offer!

We are borrowing £160000 over 25 years with an initial rate of 4.69% for 3 years. According to the overpayment calculator, this would make our monthly repayments £906.67. However the offer from the bank says our repayments will be £903.26.

Am I missing something?

    Could be the calculator you use is working in monthly interest and the lender is working in daily interest.
