Mine is currently £10.20 per day, down from a maximum of £27.37:eek: in August 2007. It would have been £11.96 without the OPs - this doesn't feel like a big difference
but as long as I'm still on track to pay it off early I guess it doesn't matter

I got mine down to £3.48 last year from £3.57. Nationwide then went and charged me £3.49 today, I am not sure how that works!MFW 2025 No. 7 £1130/£1200
MFiT-T7 No. 6 £2873.51/£30,0000 -
I'm currently paying £3.19 per day. I will be making a few overpayments in January, so it should be down to £3.00 per day by the end of the month.0

Ours is a shocking £33.62 a day... Not quite at the MFW yet - but hope to start this quest this year (around September) once we finished paying off the debts. Watch this space!!Paying down the mortgage:
At 1 October 2011: £226,000
Currently: £224,499
Aim: 85% LTV (£212,500)
Paid £1,500
Target remaining: 88.89%0 -
Oh my goodness, i have just worked ours out at £20.45 per day :eek: . This has made me even more determind to really kick this mortgage into shape. There is no way the banks are making £20.45 per day out of me in 2010!!!! Interesting thread BTWCredit card £4461.15Home mortgage £137117Buy to let mortgage £83,0000

I can't remember how to work it out.
Ahh, if it's the amount outstanding x the interest rate, divided by 365 then mine is £9.59!0 -

Delighted to say that as a result of a remortgage earlier in the year we now only pay £6.13 per day in interest. :j
Off to work on making it even lower.......

At it's highest I was paying £29.30 per day :eek: interest but I'm anticipating it's going to be around £10 per day in January, although it's worth nothing that this is largely due to drops in the base rater rather than my overpayments:D
I see I made the above post 18th December 2008 (sorry for being a nerd and finding my orginal post)
My records show that it did indeed drop to £9.89 a day in January 2008 but continued to drop as a result of base rate changes and Op's although I must say that the base rate drop was the biggest influencing factor. By Dec 2009 I was paying £2.36 interest a day with an average daily interest charge across the year of £3.64. Amazing to think that not that long ago it was £29.30 a day but that said I'm conscious that the interest rate must go up again at some point.MFW Start Date 1.4.08. Updated 23.1.18. MFW date 1.8.18
Original Mortgage o/s £187,643 / £71,904 (-115,739)
Repay o/s £92,661 / now £55,900 (-36,761)
Int Only o/s £94,982, now £16,004 (-78,978)
Total daily interest £1 [a) £0.77 b)£0.23
Total OP's:2018 target £TBC YTD £1,9950 -
£16.82 - shocking when you work it out! Renew aim to pay more this year.0

Thanks for that, chirpchirp. I've just done mine by that method, so, if that is the way to work it out, my interest is £11.08 per day!! _pale_ Eek!!0
