refund
Payment given back
A refund is money returned after a purchase or payment, typically because the product was defective, the service unsatisfactory, or the transaction canceled: I got a full refund on the broken laptop.
To refund is to return such money: The airline refunded my ticket.
Tax refunds return overpaid taxes to the payer.
