I'm trying to reconcile my interest figures but to no avail. If I look at separate tax statements, the interest for March, April and May (so far) the individual totals are £23.51, £37.39 and £10.83. Adding these up comes to £71.73. If I do a tax statement for all time the total interest reads £127.34, which tallies with the amount on the summary page of my account. If I calculate the interest paid to me manually in May this comes to £62.69. Adding this figure to the March and April figures above gives £123.59 which is £3.75 short of the £127.34 total elsewhere. The calculations make no sense to me and I can't find this error anywhere. Has anybody else got these issues or should I continue looking? In any event the tax statement for May is wildly inaccurate and needs sorting.

Just checked mine for April and it just shows a single penny difference - but that might be my adding up - the only problem I found was selecting the year 2015 in the start box, the drop down calender refused to accept 2015 and I had to enter it manually. Just tried May, initially it looked wrong but I noticed if you put the 1st of May as the start date it doesn't include the interest paid on the 1st, only from the 2nd of May onwards - not sure if its supposed to do that or not Edit - I'm guessing if you want the statement for the 1st to the 10th of May you put 30th April in the start date

The figures are correct for each month if I put in the last day of the previous month, rather than the first day of the month in question. I wonder if it's anything to do with interest added at midnight? Just a guess - but shouldn't happen really. At least I can sort it out now. Thanks
