balance due
The amount of debt still due under an account or the principal balance remaining on a promissory note.
Definition from Nolo’s Plain-English Law Dictionary
The amount of a debt owed on an account, a mortgage, or a promissory note. The balance due is not necessarily the sum of installments due (because the installments may include amortized interest), but may be the principal due without further interest.
