CALCULATING AVERAGE DAILY BALANCE AND FINANCE CHARGE

Step 1. | Calculate the daily balance or amount owed at the end of each day during the billing cycle:
Step 2. | When the daily balance is the same for more than 1 day, multiply it by the number of days the daily balance remained the same, or the number of days of the current balance. This gives a cumulative daily balance.
Step 3. | Add the cumulative daily balances.
Step 4. | Divide the sum of the cumulative daily balances by the number of days in the billing cycle.
Step 5. | Finance charge = Rate per month × Average daily balance.
Step 6.* | New balance = Previous balance + Cash advances + Purchases − Payments − Credits + Finance charge
