An amortization table is important because it provides a clear breakdown of the loan repayment schedule, showing the principal and interest components of each payment over the life of the loan. This transparency helps borrowers understand the total cost of the loan, how payments are applied, and what their obligations are, aligning with legal requirements for disclosure in lending practices.
