How's this work?

So I think last time I got a car loan, my interest was accrued monthly, at least I think it did.   I have another loan now and it's daily interest accrual, and it tells me how much interest has accured since my last payment.  So if I make a payment on the 14th, and check my balance on the 30th, it'll show 16 days of accrual.   Do all auto loans do it daily and I just didn't notice before?  Is there much difference in the amount of interest paid?

 

I'm ahead of my payment by a month but as of right now it shows about $24 in "interest accrued since last payment."

Most loans will have a daily interest charge.  It will be something like APR/360 = Daily Interest (could also be 365 day calc but most are 360)
