There is an invoice in a computer system. It has the "total sum" and the "paid sum" associated with it. How do you call "what remains yet to be paid" on this one invoice? And which sign, plus or minus should be displayed along this number?

Perhaps Balance, remaining sum? – mahmud k pukayoor May 30 '19 at 12:51

I think you meant to ask what to call it, not how. "How do you call an invoice?" asks something like "How do you make them pay?". – Lawrence May 30 '19 at 14:18

The term (in the US, at least) is balance due.
No sign needs to be displayed, since balance due expresses that money is owed by the customer. If you owed the customer, there would be a credit.
