fixed-rate loan
Unchanging payment debt
A fixed-rate loan is a loan where the interest rate remains constant throughout the repayment period, unlike adjustable-rate loans where the rate fluctuates with market conditions.
Borrowers choose fixed rates for predictability—monthly payments stay the same regardless of economic changes: We locked in a fixed-rate loan before interest rates climbed.
