The principal.
It is the base amount of the loan, but not including interest.
The amount of the loan is called the principal.
A mortgage is a loan specifically used to purchase real estate. The borrower (homebuyer) pledges the property as collateral to the lender (usually a bank or mortgage company) until the loan is fully paid off. Payments typically include both principal (the amount borrowed) and interest (the cost of borrowing).
I presume that the person asking the question is referring to a loan with so called "levelized payments". Most mortgages have levelized payments which means that during the duration of the loan each month and each year you pay the same amount to your lender. Each payment to the lender consists of interest and principal payments. Via the principal payments you repay the lender the amount you borrowed. Interest is the compensation you pay for borrowing the money. This is the profit for the lender. Every time you borrow money you only pay interest on the amount that you owe the lender. When you first borrow money and have not paid back any principal, you have to pay interest over the entire amount you borrowed. After you have made several payments you have repaid part of what you have borrowed from the lender. The amount outstanding is lower than in the beginning. Hence the amount of interest you have to pay is less than in the beginning. Let's assume the principal is $100. In the beginning, the interest is calculated on the entire principal that is outstanding i.e., $100. When you pay $20 as installment towards repayment of the loan, $6 (say) goes towards interest component and the balance $14 towards principal repayment. Hence the principal outstanding is now $100- $14 = $86. The next installment is also $20. The interest component is 6% of $86= $5.16 (as against $6 for the previous installment). The principal component = $14.84. The outstanding principal now is $86 - $14.84 = $71.16 and so on. You can see that the interest component keeps decreasing while the principal component keeps increasing with time. The key is that the interest is calculated on the outstanding principal and hence varies with time.

capitalization. Capitalization is when all unpaid interest is added to the principal balance of your loan. Capitalization increases your total amount to be repaid because you will then have to pay interest on the increased principal amount.
The amount of the loan is called the principal.
A secured loan is a loan where you will be required to use your property as security against the loan, so the lender is able to balance the risk of lending to you. The amount that can be borrowed differs from lender to lender and your individual circumstances.
The principal is the initial amount borrowed in a loan. Interest is the cost charged by the lender for borrowing that principal amount. The total repayment amount on a loan typically includes both the principal and the interest.

The charge for illegally using other people's money is embezzlement. It refers to the theft or misappropriation of funds placed in one's trust.
Here's a simplified explanation of how it works: Principal Amount: The principal amount is the initial sum you borrow from the lender. This is the base amount upon which interest is calculated. Interest Rate: The lender specifies an annual interest rate as a percentage. For example, if you have a $10,000 personal loan with an annual interest rate of 5%, the interest rate is 0.05. Time Period: The time period refers to the duration for which you borrow the money, usually expressed in years but sometimes in months. For example, if you have a 3-year loan, the time period is 3. Interest Calculation: To calculate the interest for each period (usually monthly), you multiply the principal amount by the annual interest rate divided by the number of periods in a year. For example: Monthly Interest = (Principal Amount × Annual Interest Rate) / 12 Total Interest Paid: To find the total interest paid over the life of the loan, multiply the monthly interest by the total number of periods (months) in the loan term. For a 3-year loan, this would be 36 months. Total Interest = Monthly Interest × Total Number of Periods Total Repayment Amount: To determine the total amount you'll repay, add the principal amount to the total interest. Total Repayment Amount = Principal Amount + Total Interest
