DEBT COLLECTOR FORMULAS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. The formula for calculating the interest per day is:
Principal X Interest Rate / 365 = Interest Per Day
Example:
A. Principal of $3000.00 X an interest rate of 10% = $300.00
interest per year.
B. $300.00 / 365 = $0.8219178 cents per day interest.
2. The formula for calculating the interest per month is:
A. $0.8219178 cents per day interest X 31 days = $25.479451
B. $25.479451 rounded = $25.48 interest for the 31 day month.
