The monetary fee or cost that a borrower pays to a lender as compensation for the opportunity to borrow money. It is the price paid for using someone else’s money and is typically calculated as a percentage of the principal amount borrowed. Interest serves as the lender’s profit for providing the loan or extending credit and is a fundamental component of various financial transactions, such as loans, mortgages, credit cards, and other forms of borrowing.
