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.
Lenders make money from borrowers by charging interest on the money they lend. Interest is a fee that borrowers pay for the privilege of borrowing money, and it is typically a percentage of the total amount borrowed. This allows lenders to earn a profit on the money they lend out.
When we talk of interest rates , we are talking of the interest rate on the total amount of money borrowed by a person.
The interest on a loan is typically higher than the principal amount borrowed because it is the cost of borrowing money from a lender. Lenders charge interest as a way to make a profit and compensate for the risk of lending money. The interest is calculated as a percentage of the principal amount and is added to the total amount owed, making the overall repayment higher than the initial borrowed amount.

To calculate the interest on a loan or credit card, you multiply the interest rate by the amount borrowed and the length of time the money is borrowed for. This will give you the total amount of interest you will pay over the loan or credit card term.
