How is home loan interest calculated?

Reference to your loan contract will determine how the lender will calculate and charge interest, however in general terms most lenders will calculated the interest at the closing balance at the end of each day and then charge that interest to the account on the last business day of each month.

This “last business day of each month” method often leads to queries about the accuracy of the calculation usually based on the difference in the number of days in each month of calculation.

Many lenders also have penalty interest rates or fees for late payments
