How to Calculate Savings Account Interest

Depending on the institution where you have saved your money, banks often calculate savings interest using the following approaches:

Calculating Interests

1. Daily interest – In this case, the banks will use your daily closing balance to calculate the interest for that particular day and save the interest amount in a separate account.
2.  Monthly interest – The bank calculates the monthly interest using the average daily balance for the month or the lowest/minimum amount in that month.

Posting Interests

Once a bank determines your interest and stores the amount in a temporary account, the interest amount is posted in your account either monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.
