The money you owe.
You pay the principal, plus interest (rent for using someone else's money) to repay the loan.
The principal is normally the amount borrowed, which is reduced by paying any amount exceeding the interest.
The principal is the original amount that you borrow. It is usually set for an equal payment amount which includes the interest charge for the period. The principal decreases each time you make a payment as the interest amount due is based on the loan balance at the interest rate of the note.
Easy example would be:
You borrow $1000 @ 10% interest monthly. Monthly payment is $150.
Month 1 - Interest is $100 so $50 would be deducted from principal, new balance is $950.
Month 2 - Interest is $95 so $55 would be deducted from principal, new balance is $855.
Month 3 - Interest is $85.50 so $64.50 would be deducted from principal, new balance is $790.50.
Month 4 - Interest is $79.05 so $70.95 would be deducted from principal, new balance is $719.55.
Month 5 - Interest is $71.15 so $71.96 would be deducted from principal, new balance is $647.59.
