instalments

Scheduled partial payments

Instalments is the British spelling of installments.

An instalment is one of several parts into which a payment or delivery is divided: We're paying for the car in monthly instalments.

A novel or television series released in instalments appears in successive episodes rather than all at once: The final instalment airs next week.
