1. (''[[Loan]]s'') The opportunity cost to a [[lender]] of a [[borrower]] repaying a [[loan]] before its stated [[maturity]], arising because the [[lender]] must [[unwind]] its [[interest rate]] [[hedge]]s - usually the difference between the rate payable on the loan for the specified period and the overnight rate. The difference between the [[present value]] of the remaining loan repayments at their stated rate and their present value at the prevailing market rate — that is, the difference between [[present value]] of what I would get if we stuck with the original deal and you repaid the loan at term, and how much I could get if I lent that money out today, at today’s rate, for the period of the remaining term on the original loan.

2. (''[[Swap]]s'') the net [[present value]] of the remaining cashflows on a [[swap]]. On the [[Trade Date - ISDA Provision|trade date]] those values must have been equal and on any other day [[swap break costs]] will generally be simply the uncollateralised [[mark-to-market]] value, or the [[replacement cost]], of the existing transaction. You could also reach that conclusion by going through the motions:

*If I terminated this [[swap]] today, what would its [[MTM]] be? This is the equivalent of “the [[present value]] of the remaining payments".
