A loan interest is the payment a debtor makes to a creditor in addition to the repayment of principal.
When a loan is made, the debtor is generally required to make a periodic payment to the creditor. Except for interest-only loans, the periodic payment includes two components: loan interest and payment towards the principal balance.
For example, suppose John takes out a 1-year loan with a principal of $1000 and he is charged an interest rate of 5%, the loan interest is $50.
[loan interest = principal balance X interest rate]
