Amortization
Amortization is the systematic reduction of a loan's outstanding principal over time through regular payments that also cover interest. In accounting, amortization is the gradual expensing of an intangible asset's cost over its estimated useful life.
Example: A 30-year fixed-rate mortgage follows an amortization schedule where each monthly payment partly covers interest and principal, causing the loan balance to shrink over time.
