Ho guys I wanted to ask,  I have the following calculation from my bank 

Start date  2.10.20
End date 10.9.21
Rate 2.16
Loan 134, 995

Whqt should the interest only be and how many days do you get 

I've already done it and I have 2 answers my own and the banks . Uts 1 day out but I'm pretty sure they calculated it wrong 

Thanks

    Not enough information.

    Need a list of all the payments and date of payment.

    How is the interest calculated and when does it get applied to the account.

    It's starts on and ends on the dates stated , interest calculated daily

    Or if you don't want to do the calculations,  just let me.know how many days you think.it should be between these 2 periods 

    02.10.20
    10.9.21

    I can do the rest 
  • You aren’t providing enough information for someone to do an exact calculation.  

    To clarify it is an interest only mortgage not a repayment mortgage? 

    When you say days ‘between’ do you mean says between - Ie not including start or finish date. 

    Include either the start date or the finish date ? 

    Or include both the start and finish dates ? 

    Possibly this is where the issue is coming from?

    The nominal interest would be ~£8 per day.

    I gotnthis as 343 days but the bank have it as 344 

    But I don't understand how they got it as 343 consider 1 day is

    01.10.21 to 02.10.21
  • How many days where those funds were against your mortgage account.  I assume the money deposited on the 2/10/20 and then left on the 10/9/21.  So you calculate every day that funds were in the account which is 344.

    1.10 - 2.10 is 2 days

    If i give you money on a Monday and you give it back to me on a Tuesday then you have had that money on Monday and Tuesday (i have as well to be fair which is where it feels unfair).   You pay interest for each day (or part of day) that you had the money
