A loan payment is applied to:
1. Interest — the cost of borrowing on the outstanding balance.
2. Principal — the portion that reduces the loan balance.
(For some loans—especially mortgages—a payment can also include escrow amounts for taxes and insurance or fees, but the basic split is interest vs. principal.)
