amortization schedule
Definition
The schedule of payments for paying off a loan. An amortization schedule breaks down the payments into interest and principal, which is helpful because with an amortized loan these the amounts vary with each payment. Typically, an amortization schedule will also include additional information such as the amount of interest and principal paid, as well as the remaining principal balance. Amortization schedules are most frequently used with mortgages.
