Abstract: Abstract We propose a minimal set of commonly acceptable principles to consistently formulate amortization schedules in accordance with different contractual clauses. Our goal is bringing to the fore premises that are sometimes left implicit, and yet seem to draw a wide consensus in practice. We demonstrate by means of examples how these principles may be used to deal with risk or financial innovations, and to fill gaps arising from unforeseen contingencies.
