Business net interest income is derived from the interest rate earned on average assets or paid on average liabilities relative to the average Bank of England base rate, local equivalents for international businesses or the rate managed by the bank using derivatives. The margin is expressed as annualised business interest income over the relevant average balance. Asset and liability margins cannot be added together as they are relative to the average Bank of England base rate, local equivalent for international businesses or the rate managed by the bank using derivatives.

Average balances are calculated on daily averages for most UK banking operations and monthly averages elsewhere. 

Within the reconciliation of Group net interest income, there is an amount captured as Other. This relates to: benefit of capital, including the restatement of Reserve Capital Instruments and other capital instruments; Head office functions and other operations; net funding on non customer assets and liabilities.
