What is Amortization?
Amortization is the process of repaying a loan through fixed scheduled payments over time.
Each payment is divided into:
- Principal (loan amount borrowed)
- Interest (cost of borrowing money)
At the beginning of the loan, most of the payment goes toward interest. Over time, more goes toward principal until the loan is fully paid off.
