Common examples include rent, salaries, and insurance premiums. These payments provide predictability in budgeting and financial planning.

Option ARM vs. Fixed Rate Mortgage A fixed rate mortgage has the same payment for the entire term of the loan. The Option ARM uses a low initial rate to calculate your initial minimum monthly payment. Although the interest rate will increase after 1 to 3 months, your low payment will remain fixed for the entire year. This can produce a much lower monthly payment than a traditional fixed rate mortgage, or even an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM).

A fixed rate mortgage is a loan to buy a house and/or property in which the interest rate charged is 'fixed' or does not change. For instance, if you take out a 30-year fixed rate mortgage, you will have the same interest rate for the first payment as you will for the last payment, 30 years later.
