Informations - The Legal Rate of Interest is established by art. 1284 of the Civil Code which provides that, if the parties do not agree in writing to a higher interest rate, you will have to apply the law established annually by the Minister of the Treasury. The rate calculated by this program is simple, it does not provide for the capitalization of interest (the compound interest which is the Interest on Interest) and re-evaluates the sum of each year. This mode is most usual because art. 1283 of the Civil Code only allows the compound interest in limited cases, except in cases where this is established by the use of legislation. Calendar year and year commercial - The calculation of the Interest is done on the basis of the calendar year which is composed of 365 days (366 in leap years). The commercial year, however, is a conventional period formed by 12 months of 30 days each, for a total of 360 days. This particular period was used in the past to facilitate financial calculations that would otherwise have had to consider the particularities of the calendar year (leap years and months with different number of days). This need to simplification was no longer necessary when they began to diffuse the software to automate the calculations of interest. Consequently, the commercial year is now obsolete. Memo - This calculator follows the provisions of article 155 of the Code of Civil Procedure: «in computation of time limits in days or hours, you exclude the initial day or the initial hour», applying the locution of Roman law "dies a quo non computatur in termino, dies ad quem computatur". Moreover, according to the said article 155, «if the expiration day is a public holiday, the deadline is extended by law to the first following working day» and «for the computation of time limits in months or years, is respected the common calendar». In short, the initial day of a deadline is excluded, but the final day is included. Lastly, it's necessary to distinguish between the Legal Interests and the Monetary Revaluation of an amount of money, that's the calculation method used to offset inflation. |
