Various Interest Calculation Methods in Tally Prime Demystified




What is interest calculation?

TallyPrime automatically calculates the pending interest amount till the date of your entry and auto-fills the amount column with the pending interest of the ledger selected.

Calculate Interest formula:

  • The formula for Simple Interest (SI) is “principal x rate of interest x time period divided by 100” or (P x R x T/100).
  • Example: 10,000 x 8 x 5 = INR 4,00,000 / 100 = 4000.

Purchase Interest:

  • Purchase Interest typically refers to the interest incurred on purchases made on credit.
  • This interest may be charged by your suppliers or creditors when you delay making payments for goods or services you have received.
  • It's an additional cost associated with your purchases.

Sales Interest:

  • Sales Interest typically refers to the interest income earned on sales made on credit.
  • This interest income may be charged by your customers or debtors when they delay making payments for the goods or services they have purchased from your company.
  • It's additional revenue earned because of extending credit terms to your customers.

Bank A/c Interest:

  • Bank A/C Interest typically refers to the interest income or expense associated with your bank accounts.
  • This can include interest earned on your bank deposits or interest paid on loans or overdrafts provided by the bank.
