accrued interest
Unpaid loan growth
Accrued interest is interest that has accumulated on a loan or investment since the last payment or since interest began accumulating.
When you buy a bond between interest payment dates, you typically pay the seller the accrued interest that has built up since the last coupon payment.
The statement showed $47 in accrued interest on the savings bond.
The term appears frequently in accounting and financial contexts where precise tracking of earned but unpaid interest matters.
