What is Amortisation?
Quick definition
Amortisation is the process of gradually paying off a loan through regular repayments covering both principal and interest.

Overview
With an amortising loan, each repayment generally includes interest plus a principal component that reduces the balance over time.
Early repayments are often more interest-heavy, then principal reduction usually accelerates as the balance falls.
