To calculate interest on a loan, you typically use the formula: Interest = Principal × Rate × Time. The principal is the amount borrowed, the rate is the annual interest rate expressed as a decimal, and time is the duration the money is borrowed for, usually in years. For example, if you borrow $1,000 at a 5% annual interest rate for 3 years, the interest would be $1,000 × 0.05 × 3 = $150. Depending on the type of interest (simple or compound), the calculation may vary slightly.
The loan is called the principal. People pay interest to borrow money, but payment is interest plus money toward the principal.
The fee charged to borrow money is called interest.
compound interest
The process of paying a bank to let you borrow money is called "interest."
The interest rate that the Federal Reserve charges member banks to borrow money is called the federal funds rate.

If you borrow money on agreed terms, including the obligation to pay interest, then choose not to pay the interest, that would be stealing.

Borrowing is the act of taking with intentions of returning it. If you borrow money, most people will charge interest on the money. Most banks charge interest yearly, sometimes monthly. The interest depends on who or where you borrow the money from.
The bank is paying you (compensating you) for the use of your money. When you borrow money from the bank, you pay them interest.

Principal is the amount of money you borrow. Interest is the fee charged by the lender (or bank) to use their money. The total amount of money you pay back is the principle + interest.
The interest rate that the Federal Reserve charges member banks to borrow money is called the federal funds rate.
There is no calculation involved. You pay back the amount you borrow.
Money that is borrowed is not taxable. If you borrow it and don't pay it back, it can be classified as income and be subject to income tax. If you borrow money and are not being charged interest, the government will consider the cost of interest to be income that is taxed.
