A loan's principal payment will not be included on the income statement. The principal payment is a reduction of a liability, such as Notes Payable or Loans Payable, which is reported on the balance sheet. The principal payment will also be reported as a cash outflow on the Statement of Cash Flows.

Only the interest portion of a loan payment is reported on the income statement, and it is reported as Interest Expense.
