I purchased a 10k CD for one year. Then in a month I decided I wanted the money. Does the early withdrawal penalty come out of the principal?
If there has not yet been enough interest earned to cover the penalty, the deposit contract may require that the penalty be paid either from an outside source or from the principal of the deposit.
