Common use of Interest Charged Clause in Contracts

Interest Charged. If You Do Not Pay Your Minimum Payment Due If you do not pay your Minimum Payment Due by the Closing Date of the billing period in which it is due, we will apply the Penalty APR to the entire balance, including the Amount Above the Credit Limit, if any (see How we calculate interest below). We also may apply the Penalty APR for other reasons (see Penalty APR and when it applies on page 2 of Part 1). If you do not pay the Minimum Payment Due on a statement by the Closing Date of the billing period in which it is due and then you pay the Minimum Payment Due on a subsequent statement by the Closing Date of the billing period in which it is due, we will not charge interest on the Amount Above the Credit Limit for the billing period for which you paid the Minimum Payment Due by the Closing Date in which it is due. How we calculate interest We calculate interest for a billing period by first calculating interest on each balance. Different categories of transactions--such as purchases and balance transfers--may have different interest rates. Balances within each category may also have different interest rates. We use the Average Daily Balance method (including new transactions) to calculate interest charges for each balance. The total interest charged for a billing period is the sum of the interest charged on each balance.
