2) Calculation of Bonus Interest:
The Bonus Interest is calculated based on Monthly Average Account Balance (MAAB) at a maximum MAAB of RM50,000 as follows:
| MAAB |
= |
Sum of day end balance for the calendar month / number of days* |
| Bonus Interest |
= |
MAAB x prevailing bonus interest rate p.a. x (number of days* / number of days in a year) |
* Number of days is calculated as follows:
- New account opened -
From the day the PB MySalary Savings Account is opened to the last day of the calendar month. For subsequent months, the number of days will be the total number of days in the respective calendar month.
- Existing account -
The number of days will be the total number of days in the respective calendar month.

| 5 April 2018 |
Customer A pays 2 bills totaling RM1,500 via Bill Payment function in PBe or PB Engage. |

| = |
[4(RM40,000) + 5(RM38,500) + 15(RM37,500) + 6(RM45,500)] / 30 days |
| = |
RM39,600.00 |
Bonus Interest for April 2018
| = |
RM39,600 x 1% p.a. x 30/365* |
| = |
RM32.54 |
|
