What is Interest
In the fields of finance and economics, interest refers to the payment made by a borrower or a financial institution that accepts deposits to a lender or depositor of an amount that is greater than the amount that is repaid for the principal sum, at a specific interest rate. Different from a fee that the borrower might have to pay to the lender or to a third party, this is a separate obligation. It is also distinct from dividends, which are payments made by a company to its shareholders (owners) from its profit or reserve. However, dividends are not paid at a predetermined rate; rather, they are distributed on a pro rata basis as a portion of the reward that is gained by risk-taking entrepreneurs when the revenue earned is greater than the total costs.
