Definition of Sinking fund

An amount set apart periodically from the income of a business and allowed to accumulate in order ultimately to pay off a debt or another account in the books. A preferred investment for a sinking fund is the purchase of the firm's bonds that are to be paid off. Once a sinking fund achieves the same value as the account which it is to pay off, both can be removed from teh balance sheet.
