Where:
• Տ - the annual interest rate of the deposit “Orakan”,
• Ա - "Progress" deposit interest rate which is the closest to the invested deposit and has shorter time period,
• Բ - "Progress" deposit interest rate which is the closest to the invested deposit and has longer time period,
• Գ – difference between the days of "Progress" deposits closest to the invested deposit with shorter and longer time periods,
• Դ - difference between the days of the deposit and the nearest "Progress" deposits with the shortest maturity.

A contractual interest rate is established if the deposit amount exceeds AMD 50,000,000, USD 100,000 and EUR 50,000.

 Calculation example
On below terms

Initial deposit	100,000,000AMD
Opening day	15/02/2023
Maturity	70 days (until 26/04/2023)
Annual interest rate	6.31%
Payment of interests	At expiry
Income tax	10% from interest income

The deposit interest amount is calculated in the following manner:

Daily interest income
1,000,000 (deposited sum) x 6.31/100 (annual interest rate) / 365 (number of days in a year) = 172.88
Total interest income for 70 days
172.88 x 70 days = 12,101.37
Net interest income for 70 days
12,101.37 - 1,210.14 (10% from total interest income is subject to income tax) = 10,891.23
Total amount of deposit (initial amount + interests after taxation) AMD 1,010,891.23

Calculated amounts are rounded up to one hundredth.
