An amortization schedule is a detailed table laying out the periodic payments on a loan, breaking them down into interest and principal components, as well as showing the remaining balance after each payment. It is vital for understanding how a loan is paid off and the interest incurred over time.
Amortization Term refers to the period over which a loan or debt is scheduled to be paid off through periodic payments. The full amortization term dictates the timeline within which the principal and interest are settled.
A partially amortized loan is a type of loan that includes a regular payment schedule over a set period but does not fully pay off the principal within that time, resulting in a balloon payment at the end of the term.
