Mortgage Interest

Just a quick question which will probably have an obvious answer...

Is the interest on a repayment mortgage applied at the end of the calendar year? For example, the balance that I can see on my mortgage statement today will be a bit higher in January due to the interest?

Thanks.
Current redemption date - 2044!

Mortgage 1 - 2.5%, end date as above

Mortgage 2 (top-up) - 5.19%, overpayment of £50 saves us £14,500 in interest & pays off 9 years early

    It depends on the provider. Mine is calculated daily and added monthly but others will differ

    When I had a Nationwide mortgage I could view it online and the interest was calculated and added daily.
