I am trying to create a spreadsheet that calculates overdraft loan interest the way the bank does. The loan advances as needed and is usually paid off multiple times per month, but the rate is set. The rounding is the problem. I am often off a cent or two to what the bank calculates. It's because of the way the interest accrues on a daily basis. Is there anyway to emulate how the bank calculates?
