The method of calculating finance charges that typically results in the lowest finance charge is the Average Daily Balance method. This approach considers the daily balance of the account over the billing cycle, allowing for fluctuations in the balance to be averaged out, which can lead to a lower overall finance charge compared to methods like the Previous Balance method or the Adjusted Balance method. By minimizing the balance used in calculations, the Average Daily Balance method can reduce the finance charge incurred.
