Cash management charges
Learn how payout profiles calculate cash management charges and client net returns.
A cash management charge (CMC) is the portion of gross interest retained under the pool's payout arrangement.
Core calculation
For each account and day, Flinq calculates:
-
Gross interest: balance × effective interest rate using the profile's day-count convention.
-
Cash management charge: the applicable payout-profile percentage of gross interest.
-
Client net return: gross interest minus the cash management charge.
Whole-balance payout
The account balance selects one payout tier, and that tier's CMC percentage applies to all gross interest for the day.
Partial-balance payout
Each CMC percentage applies to the interest earned by the portion of the balance within that tier. The payout-tier limits must align with the agreed interest arrangement.
Standing-rate effect
If a standing-rate floor applies, Flinq reduces the CMC as necessary so the client net return reaches the standing-rate interest. The payment run shows the affected accounts.
Change the charge
Create a new payout profile period with the agreed effective date. Flinq ends the previous period on the preceding day and preserves it for historical payment calculations.
