Interest uses the average balance, not the full commitment every day.
Draws usually start small and end near the full amount, so a planning shortcut is to apply the rate to an average balance. Interest equals the commitment times the annual rate times the fraction of a year times the percent of the commitment you say is outstanding on average. A $500,000 illustration at 9 percent for 12 months with 50 percent average use is $22,500 of interest, or $1,875 a month. That is not a payment a lender will lock.
