fixed payment

Unchanging monetary obligation

A fixed payment is a predetermined sum that remains constant regardless of other variables.

Mortgage payments, subscription fees, and lease installments are typically fixed payments—the amount stays the same each billing cycle.

The term distinguishes from variable payments that fluctuate based on usage, performance, or market conditions: Our fixed payment of $1,200 covers rent and utilities.
