113:, the notional principal amount is the specified amount on which the exchanged interest payments are based; this could be 8000 US dollars, or 2.7 million pounds sterling, or any other combination of a number and a currency. Each period's rates are multiplied by the notional principal amount to determine the height and currency of each counter-party's payment. A notional principal amount is an amount used as a reference to calculate the amount of interest due on an 'interest only class' which is not entitled to any principal.
213:, have the unusual property that their notional changes every day; they pay the compounded daily return, so it is as if one were re-investing each day's earnings at the new daily price. If an investor has an inverse ETF in an asset that goes down, they will have more money, which can be used to short a cheaper asset, hence one's unit notional goes up. Conversely, if the asset has gone up in value in this situation, the notional will go down, as seen in
125:, one party pays a fixed or floating rate multiplied by a notional principal amount plus the depreciation, if any, in a notional amount of property, in exchange for payments by the other party of the appreciation, if any, on the same notional amount of property. For example, assume the underlying property is the S&P 500 stock index" A would pay B the

For instance, if a 100 share equity call option is purchased with a strike of $ 60 for a stock that is currently trading at $ 60, then it has the same upside potential as holding $ 6,000 of stock (1 option × 100 multiplier × $ 60), but the shares may have been purchased for $

notionals. For example, if an individual has a call option on USD/JPY currency struck at 110, and one of these is purchased, then this gives the buyer the option to pay 100 USD and receive 110 × 100 = 11,000 JPY, so the USD notional is 100 USD, and the JPY notional is 11,000 JPY.

In simple terms, the notional principal amount is essentially how much of an asset or bonds a person owns. For example, if a premium bond were bought for £1, then the notional principal amount would be the face value amount of the premium bond that £1 was able to purchase. Hence, the notional
174:
Note that the ratio of notionals is exactly the strike, and thus if the strike is moved, one of the notionals will change. For instance, if the strike is moved to 100, and the USD fixed at 100, the JPY notional becomes 10,000; the buyer will pay the same number of USD and receive fewer JPY.
144:
For example, if stock option contracts are being bought, those contracts could potentially give a lot more shares than would be possible to control by buying shares outright. So the notional value is the value of what is controlled, rather than the value of what is owned.

track underlying positions, so an investment performs equivalently to purchasing that number of physical positions, though the fund may in fact not directly purchase the positions, and instead use derivatives (especially futures) to produce the position.

has been achieved. Note that if the stock price moves to $ 70, the dollar notional is now $ 7,000 (minus the cost of option and commission differential), but the quantity (unit notional) is still 1 contract.

In a bond, the buyer pays the principal amount at issue (start), then receives coupons (computed off this principal) over the life of the bond, then receives the principal back at maturity (end).

Alternatively, JPY currency could be held constant at 11,000 and change the USD notional to 110: hence, the buyer will pay more in USD and receive the same number of JPY.

In a swap, no principal changes hands at inception (start) or expiry (end), and in the meantime, interest payments are computed based on a notional amount, which acts
