final payment

Concluding financial transfer

Final payment is the last installment in a series of payments, completing a financial obligation.

A final payment settles a debt, closes out a loan, or fulfills a contract: After the final payment, the car was officially ours.

The term often appears in contexts involving mortgages, installment plans, or project completions where money is held until work is finished.
