The annual percentage yield is being calculated based on the formula below

Where:

A - is the initial deposit amount.

n - is the consecutive number of the Term deposit related monetary flows.

N - is the last number of the Term deposit related monetary flows (including the monetary flow at the moment the Term deposit started), after which the Term deposit agreement term is being considered as expired.

Kn - the flows of the Term deposit invested at the moment of Term deposit opening and/or during the operation of it, as well as the flows of the capitalized interests, and, if available, of the mandatory fees.

Dn - is the number that indicates how many days are passed from the moment the Term deposit has been opened till the Term deposit related monetary flows are being done, including the consecutive n-th one. In case the monetary flows are at the moment of Term deposit opening, D1=0.

Calculated interest for one month = 5,753.42

One hundredth of calculated interest = 5,753.42/100 = 57.53

10% tax from interest income = 57.53 x 10% = 5.75

Paid net interest = 57.53 - 5.75 = 51.78
