Could someone please calculate monthly interest on £15,000 @ 6.08% for me, much appreciated.

Thanks Chrissie

  • Hi,
    If you are a basic rate tax payer then your monthly interest would be £60.80p
    best wishes
    Mindovermatter
  • thanks the 6.08% is the gross amount, the net amount is 6.25% so is your calculation still the same.

    Thanks Chrissie

    It depends on the number of days in the month.

    Assuming:
    The 6.08% rate is the gross p.a. rate, and
    The interest is 'paid away' monthly, and
    You're a basic rate tax payer.

    Then...

    For a 30 day month:
    £15,000 x 0.0608 / 365 x 30 x 0.8 = £59.97

    For a 31 day month:
    £15,000 x 0.0608 / 365 x 31 x 0.8 = £61.97
