Method and limitations
Daily interest = principal × annual rate ÷ 365. The date-shift estimate multiplies that daily amount by the entered number of days.
Results are planning estimates and can differ from lender, servicer, tax, insurance or association calculations because of timing, rounding, fees and contract-specific rules.
