Your interest and principal fluctuate because the amount of money you owe on a loan changes over time. When you make a payment, part of it goes towards paying off the principal (the original amount borrowed) and part of it goes towards paying the interest (the cost of borrowing the money). As you make payments, the balance of your loan decreases, causing the interest and principal amounts to fluctuate.
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.
Your principal payment may fluctuate due to changes in interest rates, the length of your loan term, or any additional payments you make towards the principal balance.

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 Esperanto words for interest and principal are intereso and ĉefa.
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.
To calculate the principal and interest payment for a loan, you can use the formula: Payment Principal x (Interest Rate / 12) / (1 - (1 Interest Rate / 12)(-Number of Payments)). This formula takes into account the loan amount (principal), the interest rate, and the number of payments.

The interest-bearing principal balance is the amount of money on a loan or investment that accrues interest over time.
Interest is the cost of borrowing money or the return on investment for deposited funds, typically expressed as a percentage of the principal amount. It is calculated based on factors such as the principal amount, the interest rate, and the time period involved. In financial terms, it can be categorized as either simple interest, which is calculated only on the principal, or compound interest, which is calculated on both the principal and the accumulated interest.
