Principal balance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Principal balance, in regards to a mortgage or other debt instrument, is the amount due and owing to satisfy the payoff of the underlying obligation.
Amortized mortgage loans automatically pay a portion of each monthly payment to the principal balance with the rest being paid as interest.
An interest-only loan does not require any monies be paid toward the principal balance each month, but is allowable.[1]
