Why does the amount of interest I pay vary from month to month?

Interest accrues on a daily basis on your loans. Factors such as the number of days between your last payment, the interest rate,
and the amount of your loan balance determine the amount of interest that accrues each month.

You can calculate the monthly interest on your loan by using the Simple Daily Interest Formula.
