Jason is cash strapped and he needs an urgent loan to save his house, so he went to a bank to get a loan of $5000. He signed an agreement to pay back in two years and the bank told him he will pay back $6100 spread between 24 months equally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He will first pay off the interest that will accrue over that period then the principal will be spread out. This is practically Amortization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Loan amortization is a type of loan that is repaid periodically both on interest and principal. A table and calculator are used to track and calculate the fixed amount to be repaid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a type of loan that is spread out over some time. During this period, an equal amount of money is repaid to the lender, and from this money, a large percentage covers the principal repayment, and the smaller percentage covers the interest repayment. In order words, the money paid back by the borrower is in smaller part debt servicing and larger part principal repayment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unamortized loans are quite different from amortized loans in the sense that in unamortized loans; it is only the interest that is being repaid during the loan term, the principal is paid in once at the end of the terms. Contrary to the above explanation on amortized loans, this has a lower monthly repayment due to the interest-only is being paid, however, the principal repayment is at once and can be difficult to pay. Amortized loans pay equal payments during the loan terms and part of the repayment goes to debt servicing (interest) while the larger percentage goes to principal repayment while unamortized pay back little during the loan terms which only covers the interest, while the principal is paid back at the end of the loan terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
