    OANDA Interest Rate Calculation OANDA pays competitive
interest rates on the account balances, and it pays and
charges interest rates on the currency pairs currently held
in customer positions. Moreover, OANDA calculates interest
rates charged and paid continuously, second-by-second. This
is in contrast to other financial markets, where interest
rate payments are made at daily intervals with the shortest
increment of one business day. This document describes how
interest rates are charged and paid.

Interest rates vary from currency to currency, and they
change on a daily basis. The interest rates that OANDA
applies for any particular currency and any particular day
can be found at using FXTrade's Interest Rate Form. There
are two types of interest rates that come in to play in
this context: lending interest rates apply when OANDA lends
you money to buy a currency, and borrowing interest rates
apply when OANDA holds your money. Lending rates are always
higher than borrowing rates (e.g., when the bank lends you
money, it charges a higher interest rate than it gives you
on the money on your accounts).

OANDA interest crediting and debiting is performed daily at
4pm EST, and whenever an open trade is closed.

Hence, interest on the account balance is paid at 4pm EST
each day, with an appropriate entry in the transaction
table of each account. Since the account balance is held in
USD, the USD borrowing rate is applied. To calculate the
account balance interest at 4pm, OANDA analyses the account
balance held during each second of the previous 24 hours
and pays interest accordingly. For example, if the account
balance at 4pm is $10,000 and it changes to $12,000 at 10pm
the same night and stays at $12,000 until 4pm the following
day, then 6 hours worth of interest is paid on $10,000 and
18 hours worth of interest is paid on $12,000.

Calculating interest on open trades is more involved. An open trade, say 1000 units of EUR/CHF, involves two currencies: the Euro and the Swiss Franc. If the open trade is long (i.e. you bought Euro and sold Swiss Francs), then you effectively are long (i.e. you hold) 1000 Euro and OANDA pays you the borrowing interest rate on the 1000 EURO for the duration you hold the trade. At the same time, you are short on the equivalent amount of Swiss Francs, so OANDA charges you the lending interest rate on that amount for the duration of the trade. These interest rates are converted to USD before they are credited/charged to your account.

If the open trade is short (i.e. you sold Euro and bought
Swiss Francs), then you are short EUR and OANDA charges you
lending interest rates for that amount of EUR, and you are
long CHF and OANDA pays you borrowing interest rates for
the corresponding amount of CHF.

The specific algorithm used to calculate the interest on an
open trade in XXX/YYY is as follows:

for a long position: calculate the borrowing interest on
XXX for the duration in question and convert it to USD
calculate the lending interest on YYY for the duration in
question and convert it to USD subtract (2) from (1). If
negative, then this is the interest you owe --- if
positive, then this is what OANDA will pay. for a short
position: calculate the borrowing interest on YYY for the
duration in question and convert it to USD calculate the
lending interest on XXX for the duration in question and
convert it to USD subtract (2) from (1). If negative, then
this is the interest you owe --- if positive, then this is
what OANDA will pay. OANDA credits or debits interest on
the account (with an appropriate transaction) for trade
that is open at 4pm, calculated for the time interval
starting at 4pm the previous day or the time the trade was
made, whichever is later, and ending at 4pm. When a trade
is closed, OANDA credits or debits interest on the account
for the trade, calculated for the time interval starting at
the previous 4pm or the time the trade was opened,
whichever is later, and ending at the time the trade is
closed. Let us consider two specific examples:

Trade 1: Buy 1000 units EUR/JPY @ 91.7308 on Monday Jan 1, 2001 at 12:01am

Applicable interest rates: Assume that the following
interest rates apply for Monday Jan 1, 2001:

EUR - 4.76 / 4.81 %
JPY - 0.28 / 0.38 %

Note that the borrowing rate is quoted first, followed by
the lending rate, and that interest rates are quoted in
percentage points per year. Calculate duration of trade:
Now assume that the trade is closed at 5:45am later the
same day on Jan 1, 2001. The amount of time the trade is
held open is 20580 seconds (= 12:01am - 5:45am), or
0.00065214 years (20580 secs / 31557600 secs --- there are
31,557,600 seconds in a year).

Calculate interest obtained on EUR: For calculating the
interest obtained on our EUR position, we use the following
formula:

units * lifetime (in years) * EUR borrowing interest rate
(%/year) * conversion to USD If we plug in the appropriate
numbers, we obtain: 1000 * 0.00065214 * 4.76% * EUR/USD bid
exchange rate

= 1000 * 0.00065214 * 0.0476 * 0.8423
= USD 0.0261

Calculate interest charged in JPY: For calculating the
interest charged on our JPY position, we first note that we
effectively are short 1000 Euros worth of Japanese Yen,
which, with the exchange rate of 91.7308 is 91730.8 units
of JPY (= 1000 * 91.7308) on which interest is charged. We
then use the following formula similar to the one used
above: units * lifetime (in years) * JPY lending interest
rate (%/year) * conversion to USD If we plug in the
appropriate numbers, we obtain: 91730.8 * 0.00065214 *
0.38% * JPY/USD ask exchange rate

= 91730.8 * 0.00065214 * 0.0038 * 0.00918
= USD 0.00209

Difference between the two interest amounts: The account
will be credited by the difference between the interest to
be credited and the interest to be debited: $0.0261 -
0.00209 = USD 0.02401 Note that in this case the customer
is collecting significantly more money than they are
paying, due solely to the discrepancy in interest rates
between the base and the quote currencies. In this
instance, the base currency (EUR) interest rate is higher
than the quote (JPY) interest rate, which is referred to as
a "discount" quotation. If the inverse were true (base
currency interest rate lower than the quote currency
interest rate), the instrument would be said to be quoted
at "premium".

Trade 2: Sell 2000 units GBP/CHF @ 2.5882 on Monday Jan 1, 2001 at 04:00am

Applicable interest rates: Assume that the following
interest rates apply for Monday Jan 1, 2001: CHF - 3.18 /
3.28 % GBP - 5.97 / 6.00 % Note again that the borrowing
rate is quoted first, followed by the lending rate, and
that interest rates are quoted in percentage points per
year. Calculate lifetime of trade: Assume that this trade
is also closed at 5:45am later the same day on Jan 1, 2001.
The amount of time the trade is held open is 6180 seconds
(= 04:00am - 5:45am), or 0.00019583 years (6180 secs /
31557600 secs)

Calculate interest obtained on CHF: For calculating the
interest obtained on our CHF position, we first calculate
the number of CHF units the interest is applied to: 2000
GBP units worth of CHF with the exchange rate of 2.5882 is
2000 * 2.5882 = 5176.4. Then we apply the following formula
again:

units * lifetime (in years) * CHF borrowing interest rate
(%/year) * conversion to USD If we plug in the appropriate
numbers, we obtain: 5176.4 * 0.00019583 * 3.18% * 0.5606

= USD 0.01807

Calculate interest charged in GBP: For calculating the
interest charged on our GBP position, we again use the
following formula similar to the one used above: units *
lifetime (in years) * GBP lending interest rate (%/year) *
conversion to USD If we plug in the appropriate numbers, we
obtain: 2000 * 0.00019583 * 6.00% * 1.4516

= USD 0.03411

Difference between the two interest amounts: The account
will be credited by the difference between the interest to
be credited and the interest to be debited:

$ 0.01807 - $ 0.03411 = - USD 0.01604

Since the amount is negative, the aggregate interest is
charged to the account. Related Links:
