Accelerated amortization repays loan principal faster than the original schedule, reducing interest cost and outstanding balance sooner.
Amortization period is the time over which scheduled payments would fully repay a loan principal and interest.
Amortization term is the repayment schedule length used to calculate periodic loan payments and principal reduction.
An amortized loan is repaid through scheduled payments that include interest and gradually reduce principal.
A constant-payment loan uses equal periodic payments that cover interest and principal over the amortization schedule.
The Full Amortization Term refers to the complete duration over which a loan is amortized, such that by the end of this period, the loan balance is fully paid off.
Principal balance is the outstanding amount of loan principal still owed before future interest and fees.
