Amortization
Applies to all private and federal loans◦ Amortize = Pay off
◦ Reduction of debt with regular payments of Interest (cost of the loan) Principal (actual amount borrowed)
◦ Result = Loan balance decreases
![Page 31: Dennis Zanchi dzanchi@edfund.org. 2 Agenda Private loans ◦ Defined ◦ Interest rates ◦ Indexes ◦ Finding the best deal Federal loans ◦ Defined ◦ Industry](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110320/56649cb95503460f94980b57/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Negative Amortization
Increasing debt Payments do not cover principal and interest
Result = Loan balance grows Read the fine print Monthly payments remain fixed throughout the
life of the loan. Any fluctuation in the interest rate will be reflected in the length of repayment, not in the monthly amount.

Capitalization
Adding interest to loan balance Capital = Money borrowed Interest is paid on capital “Capitalized” = when interest becomes
part of the capital
