loan amount

What you owe

The loan amount is the sum of money borrowed, before interest or fees are added.

It represents the principal—what you actually receive and must repay: The loan amount was $250,000, but with interest we'll pay back nearly $400,000.

In mortgage contexts, it's the purchase price minus the down payment.
