How the average is calculated

Average daily balance is the sum of each day’s closing balance divided by the number of days. A reviewer reads it from the daily balance summary on your statements. It is the best single picture of whether an account can carry a payment. See average daily balance for the full explanation.

What to do with it

If you are short, time large draws away from thin days
Keep a reserve equal to two debits
Count negative days across three months, not just one
Use the result to size a request that fits

In practice

An owner pastes 30 balances and finds an average of $2,100, a low of −$120 and four days under $800. He clears the $800 average line and sees the negative day and the four low days as the thing to fix. A week later he moves two drafts and the pattern improves.
