Your interest payment may fluctuate due to changes in the interest rate, the amount of principal you owe, or the terms of your loan or credit agreement.
For loans, the primary amount is the principal, which must be repaid in addition to whatever interest is charged. Until the principal is completely paid, the loan agency will normally continue to charge interest.

The sum of money set aside on which interest is paid is known as the principal. This amount serves as the initial investment or loan amount that earns interest over time. Interest can be calculated as a percentage of the principal, either as simple interest or compound interest, depending on the terms of the investment or loan agreement.
Compound Interest
A fixed percent of the principal of a loan or investment is called a fixed interest. It is paid monthly or annually or whatever based on the agreement made.

Principal interest refers to the interest charged on the principal amount of a loan or investment. The principal is the original sum of money borrowed or invested, and interest is the cost of borrowing that money or the return on investment. In loans, interest is typically calculated as a percentage of the principal, and it accrues over time until the loan is repaid. Understanding principal interest is essential for managing debts and investments effectively.
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.
The process you are describing is called compound interest. In compound interest, the interest earned on the principal amount is added to the principal, and subsequent interest calculations are based on this new total. This results in interest being earned on both the original principal and any previously accumulated interest. This method contrasts with simple interest, where interest is calculated only on the principal amount.
