Mortgage amortization is the process of gradually paying off your home loan through regular monthly payments. Each payment covers both interest charged on the outstanding balance and a portion of the principal (the original loan amount). In the early years, the vast majority of your payment goes toward interest. Over time, as the principal decreases, more of each payment reduces the loan balance.
