(dong) (3)
In which:
v: Number of month of arrears (ex: collecting the arrears of 04 months: 1, 2, 3 and 4 of year 2011, then v = 4).
Ltdi: Arrears interest calculated on the amount to be paid of month i on the principle of calculation of accumulated interest by the following formula:
Ltti = Spdi x [(1+k)ni - 1] = Spdi x [FVF(k,ni) - 1] (dong) (4)
In which:
Spdi: Amount paid for social insurance, health insurance and unemployment insurance premium of month i
k (%/month): Arrears interest is calculated by the late payment interest by the time of calculation of arrears.
ni: Number of months not yet paid for Spdi to calculate the interest (number of time of interest addition) by the following formula
ni = T0-Ti
In which: T0: Month of calculation of arrears (by solar year)
Ti: Month with incurred amount paid for Spdi (by solar year)
FVF(k,ni): Future value factor at interest rate k% with interest term ni
Ex: Calculating the arrears in 11/2011 of an unpaid amount of month 8/2011, then ni = 11/2011 - 8/2011 = 3
Example for calculation of arrears interest:
In 12/2011, collecting arrears of unpaid premium of social insurance for 04 months from Unit A: month 1, 2, 4 and 5 of year 2011. The amount to paid by each month is specified in the table below.

| Number of months with calculated interest (ni) (month) | Future value factor FVF(k, ni) | Arrears interest (dong) | ||
