ANNUAL INTEREST.

1308. Partial Payments.

When payments have been made on a note subject to "annual interest," the amount due at any time is calculated as follows:

Find the amount of the principal by the method given for annual interest (Art. 1172) until the end of the first year in which the amount of the payment or payments equals the interest then due. From the amount of the principal, subtract the amounts of the payments. Use the balance then due as a new principal, and proceed as before.

1309. New Hampshire Rule.

In New Hampshire, partial payments on a note "with interest annually" are subject to the following rule:

If the payments during a year equal or exceed the interest due at the end of the year, the amount of the payments to that date is deducted from the amount of the principal.

If the payments are less than the interest due, the amount of these payments is used (1) to cancel the interest due on the annual interest, and (2) to reduce the annual interest then due. But if no interest is due except what is accruing during the year, only the principal of the payments is thus applied, no interest being added.

NOTE. - When a payment is less than the interest due on the annual interest, the remaining simple interest is not subject to interest.

1310. Vermont Rule.

Partial payments on "annual interest "notes are used in Vermont (1) to cancel the interest due on the annual interest; (2) to reduce the annual interest then due; (3) to reduce the principal.

RULE.

If the payments during a year equal or exceed the interest due at the end of the year, the total of the amounts of the payments is deducted from the amount of the principal.

If the total payments are less than the interest due, the amounts of these payments are used (1) to cancel the interest due on the annual interest, and (2) to reduce the annual interest then due.

NOTE. - When the amount of a payment is not sufficient to cancel all the interest due on the annual interest, the balance of this simple interest is not subject to interest.
