How we calculate interest We calculate interest for a billing period by first figuring the interest on each balance.Different categories of transadionsrsuch as purchases and cash advances may have different Interest rates.Balances within each category may also have different Interest rates. We use the Average Dally Balance method Dally Balance (Including new transactions)to figure Interest For each day a DPR is In effect,we figure the daily charges for each balance.The total interest charged balance by: for a billing period is the sum of the interest charged taking the beginning balance for the day, on each balance. adding any new charges.
