You only pay for the M1 Margin Loan on the days you are borrowing. Interest accrues for each day that you use your line of credit and is billed monthly.
For example, an M1 Plus member** with a 6.95%* M1 Margin Loan interest rate would have a daily interest rate of 0.01931% (calculated as 6.95% / 360).
If an M1 Plus member** borrows $10,000 using a Margin Loan, they would accrue interest of $1.931 per day (calculated as $10,000 * (6.95% / 360)).
If an M1 Plus member borrowed this amount for the entire month (say 30 days), the interest billed for the entire month would be $57.92 ($10,000*(6.95% / 360)*30) and would be charged to their account on the third trading day of the following month. If they had at least $57.92 in the cash balance of the M1 Individual/Joint Brokerage Account or Trust Account the Margin Loan is from, the interest amount would be deducted from there. Otherwise, the interest amount would be added to their M1 Margin Loan balance, increasing the Margin Loan balance from $10,000 to $10,057.92.
