ACT/365 is a day count convention which calculates the actual days in a time period, over the actual number of days in a calendar year.

In a normal year, this will be 365 days.

In a leap year it is 366 days.


ACT/ACT

The ACT/365 convention is also known as ACT/ACT, because the denominator is the actual number of days in the year.

The ACT/365 - or ACT/ACT - convention is also sometimes known as ACT/365 actual, or ACT/365 A.


ACT/365 fixed

The ACT/365 convention, described above, should not be confused with ACT/365 fixed.

Under the ACT/365 fixed convention, the number of days in the conventional year is fixed at 365 in all years.
