ARM Calculator FAQ
What is an ARM calculator?
An ARM calculator helps you estimate your monthly payments for an adjustable rate mortgage, including how payments might change when the rate adjusts.
How do ARM rates adjust?
ARM rates typically adjust based on a financial index (like the Prime Rate) plus a margin. There are usually caps on how much the rate can increase.
When should I choose an ARM?
ARMs can be good if you plan to move or refinance before the rate adjusts, or if you expect interest rates to decrease.
What are ARM rate caps?
Rate caps limit how much your interest rate can increase. There are usually initial adjustment caps, periodic caps, and lifetime caps.
