Amortization is the process of gradually reducing or spreading out the cost of an asset or liability over its useful life. This financial technique ensures that the expense or repayment is allocated over time, which can apply to the depreciation of tangible assets or the repayment schedule of loans and intangible assets.

– Tax Benefits: Certain amortized expenses may be tax-deductible, reducing overall tax liability.
– Asset Valuation: Provides a structured approach to reducing the book value of intangible assets, aiding in accurate financial reporting.
