Understanding Mortgage Amortization
Mortgage amortization is the process of paying off a debt over time through regular payments. A portion of each payment is for the interest, and the remaining amount is applied towards the principal balance. Over the life of the mortgage, the interest portion decreases, and the principal portion increases with each payment, but the total payment amount remains the same.
Key Components
