As a merchant who is charging a customer, I want to let them pay me over a series of instalments rather than in one lump sum. For example: $25 a month for 4 months rather than $100 up-front.
What is the name for that group of 4 payments?
Example:
"I'm keeping a list of all my outstanding instalment-sets in an excel spreadsheet". What would I say instead of 'instalment-sets'?

In "accountant speak", that would be the balance.

@JamesRandom "A sum of money due as one of several equal payments for something, spread over an agreed period of time." en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/instalment I'll switch to the US spelling.

@FumbleFingers wouldn't the balance be the total amount of money due, rather than the set of obligations to pay on particular dates?

@AndrewFarrell Surely the 'balance' would be the total amount currently outstanding; "total due" is ambiguous: due now or due at the beginning?
