Finance Charge Calculations for Overdraft Line of Credit Accounts (Personal Reserve) Based on Average Daily Balance Computation Method:
Calculating your Finance Charge: We compute your finance charge by multiplying the average daily balance of your account by the daily periodic rate.
Calculating your Average Daily Balance: To get the "average daily balance" we take the beginning balance subject to a particular rate each day during the billing cycle, add any balances subject to that rate resulting from new loans, and subtract any payments, credits, unpaid finance charges, and unpaid insurance premiums which apply to balances subject to that rate. This gives us the daily balance subject to that rate. Then, we add up all such daily balances for the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the "average daily balance."
