Interest

Interest is the cost of borrowing money, or the return earned on invested funds. It’s usually expressed as a percentage (interest rate) of the principal. For borrowers, it’s an expense, for lenders or investors, it’s income. Interest can be simple, or compound based on how it’s calculated.
