Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) have changing interest rates after an initial fixed period, which can impact on your monthly payments. For example, a $250,000 ARM loan with a 3.5% fixed rate for 5 years could start with monthly payments of approximately $1,123, but payments may increase when the rate adjusts. Understanding these changes in advance is critical for effective mortgage planning.
Our ARM Loan Calculators let you estimate monthly payments during both the fixed and adjustable periods and see how different interest rate scenarios affect your total cost. You can adjust the loan amount, fixed period, initial rate, and interest rate caps to evaluate multiple scenarios. These calculators help homeowners plan their budgets and avoid surprises when their rate resets.
