Taking $538,685.44 x 0.0745 / 12 = $3344.34. That very simple calculation got us to within $50 of their number, so we know things are in the ballpark. It probably happened that one month wasn't exactly 30 days, the time between payments wasn't exactly 30 days, or the full balance did not apply for the entire month.

Your contact should state how interest is calculated, and what the rules are for adjusting the rate of interest (if any).
