Quick Summary

Accrued interest is the interest that has built up on a loan or investment but hasn't been paid yet. It's calculated over time, often quarterly, and recorded as an asset by the lender. When the due date arrives, the total interest received includes both the accrued amount and any new interest earned, effectively settling the accumulated interest.
