unpaid balance

What you owe

An unpaid balance is the portion of a debt that remains owed after payments have been made.

Credit card statements show the unpaid balance from the previous billing cycle, and interest typically accrues on this amount: The unpaid balance on her account had grown to several thousand dollars.

The term appears in loan agreements, invoices, and financial statements.
