Interest on capital: If the retiring partner has contributed capital to the partnership, they are entitled to receive interest on that capital for the intervening period.
Interest on drawings: If the retiring partner has made any drawings (withdrawals) from the partnership during the intervening period, they may be required to pay interest on those drawings.
