Mortgages typically fall into two classes; simple interest and compound interest: “Simple interest” means that interest is not paid on interest. With “compound interest” mortgages, interest is paid on interest.

With a daily accrual mortgage, every day that borrowers delay their payment results in the accrual of another day of interest.
