Need some help with the math here. How much interest would R100K earn per month on the OST money market account ( which is at 5.417% PA). Can someone show me how to calc a precise figure. (Not sure if interest is calculated daily or monthly)

Not applicable
interest = Notional*(1+effective annual rate)^(number of days/360)-Notional.

Money is added monthly, so it should be
interest = Notional*(1+rate)^(number of months/12)-Notional.
