Fixed or Adjustable Rate?

A fixed rate mortgage has the same payment for the entire term of the loan. An adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) has a rate that can change, causing your monthly payment to increase or decrease. Use this calculator to compare a fixed rate mortgage to two types of ARMs, a Fully Amortizing ARM and an Interest Only ARM.

This Financial Calculator requires a Browser with Java Support



Definitions

Fixed Rate Mortgage
A fixed rate mortgage has the same interest rate and monthly payment throughout the term of the mortgage. The payment is calculated to payoff the mortgage balance at the end of the term. The most common terms are 15 year and 30 years.

Fully Amortizing ARM
This is the most common type of ARM. The monthly payment is calculated to payoff the entire mortgage balance at the end of the term. The term is typically 30 years. After any fixed interest rate period has passed, the interest rate and payment adjusts annually. A Fully Amortizing ARM will also have a maximum rate that it will not exceed. This calculator uses a maximum interest rate of 12%. Below is a list of the most common types of Fully Amortizing ARMs.

Common Adjustable Rate Mortgages
ARM TypeMonths Fixed
10/1 ARMFixed for 120 months, adjusts annually for the remaining term of the loan.
7/1 ARMFixed for 84 months, adjusts annually for the remaining term of the loan.
5/1 ARMFixed for 60 months, adjusts annually for the remaining term of the loan.
3/1 ARMFixed for 36 months, adjusts annually for the remaining term of the loan.
1 year ARMFixed for 12 months, adjusts annually for the remaining term of the loan.
Interest Only ARM
An Interest Only ARM only requires monthly interest payments. Since you are not paying any principal, as you are with the other two types of mortgages described above, this can lower your monthly payment. However, since your mortgage's principal balance is not decreased, you will have a balloon payment at the end of the mortgage's term. Like a Fully Amortizing ARM, an Interest Only ARM will often have a period where the interest rate is fixed, and then it is adjusted annually. An Interest Only ARM will also have a maximum interest rate that it will not exceed. This calculator uses a maximum interest rate of 12%.

Mortgage amount
Expected balance for your mortgage.

Term in years
The number of years over which you will repay this mortgage. The most common mortgage terms are 15 years and 30 years. Please note that for the Interest Only ARM you will have a balloon payment for the entire principal balance at the end of the loan term.

Expected rate change
The annual adjustment you expect in your ARM. The range for this calculator is minus 3% to plus 3%. Use a negative value if you believe interest rates will decrease, a positive value if you believe they will increase.

Interest rate
Annual interest rate for each mortgage type. Typically an ARM will have a lower interest rate than a fixed rate mortgage. The rate of an Interest Only ARM will vary by lender.

Months rate fixed
This is the number of months the rate is fixed for an ARM. During this period the interest rate and the monthly payment will remain fixed. The rate will then adjust annually by the expected rate change.

Interest rate cap
This is the maximum interest rate for this mortgage. The mortgage's interest rate will never exceed the interest rate cap.

Monthly payment
Monthly principal and interest payment (PI) for the Fixed Rate Mortgage and the Fully Amortizing ARM. This is an interest only payment for an Interest Only ARM.

Maureen grew up in a Navy family. After graduating from Massachusetts General Hospital School of Nursing, Boston University, and California State University Hayward, she and her husband spent most of their careers working for the U.S. government in Europe. Maureen’s final assignment was in Beaufort where she and Bill fell in love with the low country and decided “this was the place”.

When Maureen retired from government service, she immediately pursued a career in real estate. Within two years she earned three special designations, GRI, CRS and ABR, and launched into a successful career in record time. Her long hours of study and hard work paid off in a loyal clientele and a reputation as an honest, friendly, and hardworking realtor.

Maureen works as hard for the little guy as she does for her high-end clients, believing earnestly that everyone deserves the best, and everyone is important to her. As an experienced realtor, she knows the inventory, knows the town, and knows the best people to get the best results for her clients. Maureen leaves no stone unturned when working for her clients and always pays close attention to her clients’ requirements as well as their desires. She is tireless in her efforts to find her buyers just the right house and to get her sellers the best possible price. She communicates frequently with her clients and above all else listens to their requests.

Maureen loves her work. She has a wide range of friends and acquaintances stemming from her church work, membership in Rotary, Beaufort chorale, kayaking groups, and swimming club. In addition she is a devoted wife and mother, an avid reader, an enthusiastic swimmer, and a “sometime” golfer.

Call her if you have any real estate needs. She will be pleased to answer questions, set up appointments, and make suggestions where needed. Maureen says “people are her first priority”. Depend on it and give her a call.
