What is Amortization?

There are two general definitions of amortization. The first is the systematic repayment of a loan over time. The second is used in the context of business accounting and is the act of spreading the cost of an expensive and long-lived item over many periods.

1Paying Off a Loan Over Time

When a borrower takes out a mortgage, car loan, or personal loan, they usually make monthly payments to the lender. A part of the payment covers the interest due on the loan, and the remainder goes toward reducing the principal amount owed.

Interest is computed on the current amount owed and thus will become progressively smaller as the principal decreases. You can see this in action on the amortization table above.

2Amortization Schedule

An amortization schedule is a table detailing each periodic payment on an amortizing loan. Each repayment contains both an interest payment and payment towards the principal balance, which varies for each pay period.

This calculator provides detailed amortization schedules that account for extra payments, helping you see exactly how each payment affects your loan balance.

3Spreading Costs

In business accounting, amortization refers to spreading the cost of expensive, long-lived items over many periods. This includes machinery, buildings, equipment, and intangible assets like patents and copyrights.

Under Section 197 of U.S. law, the value of intangible assets can be deducted month-to-month or year-to-year, providing tax benefits for businesses.

4Startup Costs

Business startup costs can be amortized under certain conditions. These must be expenses that would be deductible if incurred by an existing business and must be incurred before the business begins.

Examples include consulting fees, financial analysis, advertising expenditures, and employee payments incurred before the business is deemed active.
