Interest expense is generally considered a fixed cost because it remains constant regardless of the level of production or sales, as long as the interest rate and the principal amount of debt do not change. However, if a company has variable interest rates or uses a line of credit, the interest expense can fluctuate, making it partially variable. Overall, it is primarily categorized as fixed due to its predictable nature in most scenarios.

Interest payments are typically considered fixed costs because they do not fluctuate with the level of production or sales. Once a loan agreement is established, the interest rate and payment schedule are usually predetermined, leading to consistent, predictable payments over time. However, if interest rates are variable (as in the case of some adjustable-rate loans), the total interest expense can change, but the cost itself is still categorized as fixed in relation to the business's operational costs.
A fixed variable expense refers to costs that can fluctuate but remain relatively stable over a specific period. While "fixed" typically implies that the expense does not change, in this context, it suggests that the expense can vary but generally stays within a predictable range. Examples include utility bills or subscription services, which may change from month to month but usually have a consistent baseline. Understanding these expenses helps in budgeting and financial planning.
