Principal vs. Principle

Key Differences

The word 'Principal' often denotes the foremost entity in a certain context, such as the head of a school or the main party in a business transaction. It also refers to the original amount of a debt or investment, excluding profits or interest. 'Principle', on the other hand, signifies a foundational belief or standard that guides behavior or policy, embodying a basic truth or theory that forms the basis for a system of belief or behavior.

In an educational setting, a Principal is the leader or the highest authority within a school, responsible for administration and policy enforcement. Conversely, Principle in the same context might refer to the fundamental doctrines or values upon which the educational system or curriculum is based, like the principle of equal opportunity in education.

In finance, Principal refers to the initial sum of money lent or invested, before interest or earnings are calculated. In contrast, Principle in finance could refer to a basic rule or theory, such as the principle of risk and return, which posits that potential return rises with an increase in risk.
