When you pay back a loan, each payment has a principal component and an interest component. Payments early in the loan’s life consist mostly of paying down the interest, while payments late in the loan’s life are almost entirely principal. You can determine the cumulative interest and principal you’ve paid on a loan by using the CUMIPMT and CUMPRINC functions.
