How to Calculate Amortization

Este aplicativo contém Como Calcular Amortização

Amortization refers to the reduction of a debt over time by paying the same amount each period, usually monthly. With amortization, the payment amount consists of both principal repayment and interest on the debt. Principal is the loan balance that is still outstanding. As more principal is repaid, less interest is due on the principal balance. Over time, the interest portion of each monthly payment declines and the principal repayment portion increases. Amortization is most commonly encountered by the general public when dealing with either mortgage or car loans but (in accounting) it can also refer to the periodic reduction in value of any intangible asset over time.
