Amortization
To amortize means to pay off a debt by putting aside money regularly for a period of time. . We read sometimes, as “Capital cost is amortizable over a period of 10 years”. In other words, amortization is a schedule of payments in context with a debt such as personal loan or home loan and fixed over a period. The amortization schedule is the table, which gives details of the periodic principal and interest payments on a loan and the amount outstanding at any point of time. It also shows the gradual decrease of the loan balance until it reaches zero.
