Outstanding balance什麼意思

"Outstanding balance" is a term commonly used in finance and accounting to refer to the amount of money that is still owed on a debt or account, after all payments have been made and any credits or adjustments have been applied. It is the balance that remains unpaid.

For example, if you have a credit card with a limit of $1,000 and you have made purchases totaling $800, your outstanding balance would be $800. If you then make a payment of $200, your outstanding balance would be reduced to $600.

The term "outstanding balance" can apply to various types of debts or accounts, including credit cards, loans, mortgages, and utility bills. It is typically used to indicate the current amount owed, as of a specific date.
