Calculated
Calculation is usually applied to interest and interest rates in credit cards, bank accounts, and home and personal loans. Various formulas are used to calculate different financial factors, which can make it difficult to determine the actual rates and total costs of financial products. In most Australian banks, interest is calculated daily and paid out or charged every month. It is usually calculated against the total loan and expressed as a percentage of the amount. In variable rate loans, the interest is calculated not against the loan but according to prevailing market rates.
