Loan Amortization
Amortization is a form of financing that
involves paying off a loan’s principal and
interest through fixed, regular payments over
the life of the loan. Under an amortization
repayment structure, the lender spreads the
total amount owed over several payments.

TYPES OF LOAN
AMORTIZATION
Straight Loan Amortization
The straight-line amortization concept can also be
applied to the repayment of a loan via a series of
periodic payments that are in the same amount. Each
of these payments includes an interest and principal
component. Early in the series of payments, most
payments are comprised of interest charges, with
modest principal repayments. As the principal
repayments gradually reduce the outstanding amount
of the loan, the proportion of interest expense in each
successive payment declines, allowing for an
increased proportion of each payment to be assigned

Amortization
Illustrative example: On July 1, 2022, DEF Company acquired a 3-year loan amounting to
3,000,000 from ABC Bank at the rate of 10% per annum. The loan is payable semi-annually
until the full amount is paid. Below is an amortization table for the loan.
