Interest Rate was created by roberthunter
In a contract, the only stipulation in relation to interest was that interest becomes due from 14 days after the date of the invoice. I shall be grateful if someone will advise whether the interest rate is applied daily, weekly, monthly or annually and what determines the frequency.

Thank you, Robert.

Hi Robert,

Sorry for the late reply but I have only just become a moderator.

To claim interest on the money you’re owed the rate is usually 8.5%.

To calculate this, use the steps below.

a) Work out the yearly interest: take the amount you’re claiming and multiply it by 0.085 (ie 8.5%).

b) Work out the daily interest: divide your yearly interest from step 1 by 365 (the number of days in a year).

c) Work out the total amount of interest: multiply the daily interest from step 2 by the number of days the debt has been overdue.

You can then add the daily amount for each that follows the calculation.

James
