An amortization table is a breakup of installment amount related to a mortgage or lease payments. The table breaks the installments into principle and interest payment and also tracks the remaining principal to be paid.
To understand it lets assume that a bank offers a finance lease for the car that has a 5 years installment plan. The bank will pay the total amount of car i.e. $199,635.50 now and will require the lessee to pay the amount in 5 equal installments of $50,000 each and the interest rate implicit is 8%. The following amortization table will be formed.
