How We Calculate Interest Charges Daily Balance Method Including current iransoctions): We figure Interest Charges for each billing period. To do this: We calculate your Interest Charges separately for each balance subject to different terms Ifor example, standard pufc`.cset stand-:d cash advances and each purchase, balance transfer and cash advance balance subject to promotional terms). We refer to these balances as transaction categories. We figure the "daily balance" for each transaction category. To get the "daily balance" we take the beginning balance for each cloy, add arty new transactions and Fees and any Interest Charges accrued on the previous day's dail balance We then subtr t dit d d k o y - ac any cre s an payments an ma e other adjustments (including those cl*ustmenfs required in the section titled "Paying Interest"). In calculating the daily balance for the first day of the bil?ing period we consider the " revious da 's dail bal n " t h b l h l Z o o , p y y a ce o ave een your ance on t e ost day of your previous billing period. This gives us the daily balance for each transaction category. o We fi ure the Interest Charges on your Account by multiplying the daily balance for each transaction category by its daily periodic rate, for each day in the billing period. The total Interest Charges for the billing period are the sum of the daily Interest Charges for each transaction n category for each day during that billing period. x When we calculate daily balances, we odd a new transaction as of the Transaction Date shown on your billing statement , unless the transaction is posted to your Account after the close of the billing period in which it occurs, in which case the transaction will be added to the dally balance as of the first day of the billing period in which it is posted to your Account. All fees charged to your Account are added to the standard urchase tran ti t ith th h p sac on ca egory w e exception of Cas Advance Fees which are added to the applicable cash advance transaction category and Balance Transfer Fees which are added to the applicable balance transfer transaction category.
