Spanish term or phrase: método hamburgués
To begin with, such a thing as a Hamburg Method appears in pharmacy, not in finance. But roughly, this is it:

4.4.3. Método hamburgués o de saldos

Este método recibe el nombre de hamburgués porque se usó por primera vez en Hamburgo. Y de saldos porque los números comerciales se calculan en base a los saldos que van apareciendo en la cuenta (y no en función de los capitales).

Los pasos a seguir para liquidar la cuenta por este método son los siguientes:

1. Se ordenan las operaciones según fecha-valor.

2. Se halla la columna de saldos como diferencia entre el Debe y el Haber de capitales. Cada vez que hagamos una anotación cambiará el saldo de la cuenta.

3. Hallar los días, que se cuentan de vencimiento a vencimiento, y del último vencimiento a la fecha de cierre.

4. Se calculan los números comerciales multiplicando los saldos por los días y se colocan en el Debe si el saldo es deudor, o en el Haber si el saldo es acreedor.

5. A partir de aquí terminaremos la liquidación del siguiente modo:

a) Cálculo del interés.

Intereses deudores = Suma de números deudores ¥ Multiplicador fijo del banco

Intereses acr eedores = Suma de números acreedores ¥ Multiplicador fijo del cliente

El multiplicador fijo es el cociente resultante de dividir el tipo de interés de liquidación (anual) entre el total de días del año (360 ó 365).

b) Cálculo del IRC (Impuesto de Rentas de Capital) sobre los intereses acreedores.

c) Cálculo del saldo a cuenta nueva.

What do we call this in English?
