Loan Amortization Schedule. The schedule according to which one repays a loan. The loan amortization schedule shows the amount of each installment and how much principal and/or interest is repaid each month. See also: Amortization.

Initially, a large portion of each payment is devoted to interest. As the loan matures, larger portions go towards paying down the principal.
