30 / 360

An interest rate accrual method in which the interest calculation assumes that all 12 months of a calendar year have 30 days and uses a 360-day year.

An Actual / 360 interest calculation charges interest for all 365 calendar days using a 360-day year. Therefore, borrowers pay 5 days less interest than under Actual / 360. The Actual / 360 interest calculation produces an effective interest rate that is 12 basis points higher than that produced by the 30 / 360 interest calculation.
