    You add the interest shown in the Benchmark chart to the interest shown in the Margin chart.

    In the Benchmark chart Under USD - Libor you'll see 3.046%.

    Under the Margin chart (USD) for less than $100K the adder is 1.5%.

    Add the two together and you've got the daily rate.

    It's the annual rate. Divide by ~365 to get the daily rate.

    I noticed my error but Ebo had already posted the actual single day, non-compounded answer.

    I'm not sure if IB uses 360 or 365/366 as a divisor.
