Daily Interest = Principal × (Annual Rate ÷ 100) ÷ Day Count Basis
Paid Interest = Daily Interest × Paid Days
Accrued Interest = Daily Interest × Accrued Days
Interest Difference = Accrued Interest − Paid Interest
Coverage Ratio = (Paid Interest ÷ Accrued Interest) × 100
This calculator uses a simple daily accrual method. The selected day count basis changes the daily interest amount.
Paid interest and accrued interest are related, but they are not the same. Paid interest is the amount already settled by the borrower. Accrued interest is the amount that has built up over time, even if it has not been paid yet. This calculator helps you compare both values in one place. It is useful for loans, credit lines, private lending records, and internal finance reviews.
Many borrowers make payments on fixed dates. Interest, however, often grows daily. That timing gap can create unpaid accrued interest. It can also reveal an overpayment if the paid period is longer than the accrued period. By checking both numbers together, you can review cash flow, verify statements, and track what is still due.
This tool supports loan monitoring and payment reconciliation. It shows daily interest, total paid interest, total accrued interest, and the difference between them. It also calculates how much of the accrued amount has already been covered. That makes it easier to prepare reports, answer audit questions, and plan the next payment.
You can enter the principal, annual rate, paid days, accrued days, and the day count basis. These inputs match common lending workflows. A 360, 365, or 366 day basis can affect the final interest value. Using the correct basis improves accuracy and helps you align results with your contract or lender statement.
A clear paid interest vs accrued interest comparison reduces confusion. It helps you see whether interest is fully covered, partly unpaid, or slightly overpaid. This is helpful for installment loans, business borrowing, credit agreements, and customer account reviews. Use the calculator, export the results, and keep a clean record for future decisions.
Because the output appears above the form, you can review answers quickly after each submission. The built in export tools also help teams save records, share calculations, and support month end loan reconciliation tasks.
Paid interest is the amount already paid. Accrued interest is the amount earned or charged so far, even if it has not been paid yet. The gap between them shows whether interest is still due or already overpaid.
Interest usually builds every day. Payments often happen on fixed dates. Because of that timing difference, accrued interest can keep growing before the next payment is made.
Use the basis written in your loan agreement or lender statement. Common choices are 360, 365, and 366. The selected basis changes the daily interest amount.
Yes. It helps compare recorded interest payments with the amount that should have accrued by a certain date. That makes account review and reconciliation easier.
No. This version uses a simple daily accrual approach. It is best for straightforward paid versus accrued interest comparisons when compounding is not required.
A negative difference means paid interest is higher than accrued interest. In simple terms, the account shows an overpayment for the selected period.
Yes. The calculator accepts decimal entries for days and rates. That can help when you need more precise internal calculations or prorated estimates.
They export the calculation result shown above the form. This makes it easier to store records, share results, or attach the output to a loan review file.
