Frequently asked questions

How does this compare ARM vs fixed?

We estimate payments across periods using your ARM intro rate, adjustment schedule, rate caps, and lifetime cap, and compare against a fixed-rate loan with the same term.

When can an ARM beat a fixed rate?

If you plan to sell or refinance before adjustments push the ARM rate higher, the lower intro rate may save money. Time horizon and caps are key.

What if rates rise significantly?

The calculator applies periodic and lifetime caps to model worst-case paths. Check the lifetime cap scenario to understand maximum payment risk.
