The "principal" is the sum of money invested or borrowed, before interest or other revenue is added, or the remainder of that sum after payments have been made. In math, this applies to finance.
The money being borrowed is the "principal." The sum charged for borrowing the money is the "interest."
The principal is the original sum of money invested or loaned, on which interest is calculated. It is the base amount used to determine future interest payments or investment returns.
Compound Interest
There are many ways to use the word principal in a sentence: 1. Who is the principal of Howard College? 2. The sum of interest he paid on that loan is double the principal 3. Aderogba will play the principal role in the next movie.
The amount of money paid on the initial principal of a savings account or loan is referred to as the principal repayment or principal amount. In the context of loans, this is the original sum borrowed that must be repaid, excluding any interest or fees. For savings accounts, the principal is the initial deposit made, which accrues interest over time. Understanding the principal is essential for calculating interest and determining the overall cost or benefit of financial products.
Simple interest is computed on the principal amount, which is the initial sum of money borrowed or invested. It is calculated using the formula: Interest = Principal × Rate × Time, where the rate is the annual interest rate and time is the duration in years. Unlike compound interest, simple interest does not take into account any interest that accumulates on previously earned interest. Thus, it remains constant throughout the investment or loan period.
amount
Your interest is higher than your principal because interest is calculated as a percentage of the principal amount, so as time passes, the interest accumulates and adds to the original principal, resulting in a higher total amount.
