How is the interest for an ISA calculated?

Hi,

The 5th of April dead line for ISA payment is closing and I have not yet filled my ISA. But if I pay in the full £3k in next week then will the interest of 5.5% with Bristol & Wests new deal be calculated for the whole year = £165? Or will the interest be calculated for few weeks unitll April 5th?

regards

    Sorry........ :o

    No your interest is calculated only on the time it is actually on deposit with the institution... i.e. on a daily basis.
