My Calendar has 365 Days
loans. The traditional way to calculate interest on a loan is to use the
number of days in a year, which on my calendar is 365. Many, if not
most lenders use a 360-day year.
What does that mean to you? Well, on a one-year *lOO,OOO
loan at 8%, your interest bill at ENB would be s B,OOO. If you
paid interest on the basis of a 360-day year, your loan would cost
you J B,lll, or an annual difference of s lil
If you prefer the traditional way we calculate interest, give
me a call. We’ve got lots to talk about
