9. Promissory Notes The Maturity Date of a Note
SECTION 26.1
The Maturity Date of a Note
The period of time in which a note’s maker agrees to repay the note is the term of the note. The term and the issue date are needed to determine the maturity date.
To calculate a maturity date using a time calendar:
Locate the issue date in the Day of month column. Move across to the issue month to find the day of the year (September 14 is 257).
Add the number of days in the term to the day of the year (90+257=347).
Find this number in the month columns (347 corresponds to December 13).

12. Promissory Notes Calculating Interest Using a Formula
SECTION 26.1
Calculating Interest Using a Formula
Use the following formula to calculate interest:
Interest = Principal x Interest Rate x Time
Interest rates are usually stated on an annual basis. If the term is less than a year, the time in the calculation is expressed as a fraction of a year. Maturity value is the amount due at the due date.

13. Promissory Notes Calculating Interest Using an Interest Table
SECTION 26.1
Calculating Interest Using an Interest Table
To calculate interest using an interest table, follow these steps:
Find the term of the note in the Day column.
Follow the row until you reach the column for the interest rate. Where they intersect is the factor (per $100 of principal).
Divide the principal of the note by 100.
Multiply the result by the factor to find the amount of interest.

A non-interest bearing note payable is a note in which the interest is deducted from the face value of the note when it is issued. It is called non-interest bearing because no interest rate is stated on the note.
The interest deducted in advance is the bank discount. The cash received by the borrower is called the proceeds. For this type of note, the maturity value is the same as the face value.
