    So the interest will never be compounded if the balance never drops below £5,000.
    That is where I have been going wrong on my spreadsheet and why it never matches what BoS pays..
    Interest will only be compounded once credited to the account (if the account is below the threshold). Also, and this is fairly pedantic, your formula was calculating a closing balance rather than interest.
    To calculate interest for GBP it'd be (Balance x Rate x Days)/36500   [a personal choice - I put the rate in as an actual figure when calculating rather than a percentage]
