This field displays a code number which indicates how the Accrued Interest value is calculated. Possible codes in this field are:
| CODE | DEFINITION |
| 1 | 365/365 days per year, 366 days on leap year |
| 2 | 360/360 days per year |
| 3 | 365/360 days per year |
| 4 | 360/365 days per year |
| 5+ | 366/366 days in a leap year |
| 101* | 365/365 days per year, 366 days on leap year |
| 102* | 360/360 days per year |
| 103* | 365/360 days per year |
| 104* | 360/365 days per year |
| 105* | 366/366 days in a leap year |
+ For a leap year, if the interest period includes two years (such as 12/15/12 to 01/15/13), the period from 12/15/12 (the leap year) to 01/01/13 will use the 366-day basis and the period from 01/01/13 to 01/15/13 will use the 365-day basis.
* This code allows loans to have different due dates or to have interest paid in advance.
