An amortization table shows the periodic payments to be made by a borrower towards a loan/mortgage payment and also states the proportion of the periodic payment assigned for interest versus principal.
An illustrative schedule is given below:
Loan amount: $5000, Interest rate: 4% p.a, Loan period= 1 year, No. of payments p.a= 12, Sceduled payment per month= 525.75
PMT Number | Beginning Balance | Total payment | Principal | Interest | Ending Balance | Cumulative Interest | |
1 | 5000 | 525.75 | 509.08 | 16.67 | 4490.92 | 16.67 | |
2 | 4490.92 | 525.75 | 510.78 | 14.97 | 3980.14 | 31.64 | |

PMT number is the serial number of the payment
Beginning balance starts with the total loan amount and keeps decreasing with every payment. Beginning balance of period 2= Ending balance of period 1
Total payment for each period is inclusive of principal and interest component
Interest is calculated first and then the principal payment is computed by deducting interest from total payment
Ending balance= beginning balance- principal payment
