That question is much more complicated than you think - are you charging interest percentage daily? Weekly? Monthly? Anually? Once you have the period figured, you begin at some start point of your choosing. Exactly one "period" later, you multiply the basis (the outstanding balance) by the percentage rate (5%, for example, would mean you multiply by 0.05), then add that number to the basis - that's your new basis, your new outstanding balance.

But... if you charge an annual interest rate, and you compound daily or weekly or monthly, you have to take payments into account and adjust for them - it's fair to charge interest up to the moment of payment, but not beyond that moment; you can rightly only charge interest on the remaining unpaid balance beyond that date.

If you charge an annual interest rate but compound monthly, then every month you'd charge 1/12 of your annual interest rate. If weekly, 1/52. If daily, 1/365. The smaller the compounding period, the easier it is to calculate interest around payments, but the more paperwork is involved.

Whatis1.5 percent interest on$6,300.0o pr annum

depends on how often you pay off principle and how much dollars.
and how often you are charged interest.
fv=pv*(1+interest rate)^n n being the term of interest
so lets assume you pay zero off it and interest is calculated daily
fv=6300*(1+0.015/365)^365
interest = fv - pv
= 95.21 for one year without repayment
if you were to pay approx 25.15 a week you would pay this loan in 5 years time and pay approx $240 in total interest over five years
EXCLUDING future interest rate increases over the five years and excluding bank fees like account fees or account manage fee or setup a loan fee.
You could create a spreadsheet each day and calculate the interest as annual interest / 365 for the daily calculation
Then add the account fee onto the balance calc + any set up fee onto the start balance. by using =a$5 for the repayment on all rows as an example you can copy it down and the cell number will always be a$5
this way you can alter a5 and the repayment alters all the way down each week row.
or just download a template for excel

its a lot of calculations you can try a per month system
loan givers do interest calculations daily

interest is added to your loan after you pay
so adds to the loan amount and increases the interest payment

How do I get printout of interest I paid on loan in 2014?

Contact your lender.

You may be able to set up online access to your account data through the lender's website. If that is available, it probably includes links for your account status, history and statements. The December statement likely shows interest paid during the year.

COMPOUND INTEREST

But how often is the interest applied, yearly or monthly? If yearly, then the last 3 months don't earn anything at the 29 mo point. So $27624.

If applied monthly the usual trick is to simply divide the yearly rate by 12 = 1.32% per mo. So after 29 mo, $30132
