Making a Loan Payment or Certificate Dividend
Correction
When making a loan payment or certificate dividend correction,
your system will prompt you to decide whether you want to accrue
the interest reversal or whether you want to compute the accrued
dividends. This step can be confusing, because the answer varies
depending on the situation.
To help you decide how to answer, you will need to first manually
calculate each loan payment or dividend for the interest period.
Below are step-by-step procedures for calculating loan interest,
as well as procedures for manually calculating dividends, which
can be used for shares or certificates.
Loan Interest Calculation Procedures
Multiply the loan balance by the interest rate, divide by 365
days, and multiply again by the number of days at that balance:
(Loan Balance x Interest Rate)
__________________________ X
Number of Days at Balance
365
Days
Record the result of your calculation. Repeat the above for each
period for which you are calculating interest.
Day In / Day Out Calculation Method (DIDO):
Using an account history printout, multiply the account balance
by the dividend rate, divide by 365 days, and multiply again by
the number of days that the account remains at that balance:
(Balance x Dividend
Rate)
__________________________ X
Number of Days at Balance
365
Days
Record the result of your calculation. Repeat the above for each
time the balance changes within the dividend period.
Once you have run calculations for each balance change, add all
of your results to determine the total amount of dividends due
the account.
Average Daily Balance Calculation Method
(ADB):
Using an account history printout, add each day's balance throughout
t he dividend period, and obtain a total.
Divide this total by the number of days within your dividend
period, giving the Average Daily Balance.
Multiply this calculation result by the dividend rate to determine
the total amount of dividends due the account.

Period)
_______________________________________ X
Dividend Rate
Number of Days in Dividend
Period
Note: If the account was opened
after the beginning of the dividend period, only calculate the
number of days from the date of the initial deposit.
Both dividend and interest recognize the "effective date" of
a transaction. Remember to consider the effect of back-dating
on balances in your calculations.
