Bear,
As I understand it, there will no longer be any even penny payouts. The payout in the G Fund will be on a daily partial-penny basis, rather than "saving up" for a week or so. Now, since they are only showing 4 decimal places on the TSP website and the payout is actually calculated to 10 decimal places, there may be a very slight adjustment every so often to bring the website price in line with the calcs, but it's not worth worrying about.
On my spreadsheet, I enter the closing price for all the funds.
I've changed the Funds within my tracking to 4 decimals but
find that I must now wait until after 7:30pm to get the closing
prices for accuracy.
With knowing if the (G) would accumulate a full penny in 5 days,
I could add 0.002 to each days (5 x 0.002=.01) closing price. If
the eventual penny would come in six days, then I could simply
add 0.00166 to each day. (all in advance). Thats why I asked
for updates originally, to find out if the next penny would come
in 5 or 6 days based on the current rate of return.
I totaly understand that the payout is now daily, but I was trying
to make all the tracking I'm doing a bit easier.
