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.
Amortization. The repayment of principal from scheduled mortgage payments that exceed the interest due. The scheduled payment is the payment the borrower is obliged to make under the note. The scheduled payment less the interest equals amortization. The loan balance declines by the amount of the amortization, plus the amount of any extra payment. If such payment is less than the interest due, the balance rises, which is negative amortization.
