Balance (Loan, Credit Card, etc)

The total (outstanding) amount of money owed. It includes any unpaid balance from the previous month, new purchases, cash advances, and any charges such as an annual fee, late fee or interest. The balance should not be confused with the monthly payment (the minimum payment each month), which is generally 2% to 5% for credit cards.
