fixed rate
Locked interest amount
A fixed rate is an interest rate or payment amount that stays constant over the life of a loan or contract, as opposed to a variable or adjustable rate that fluctuates with market conditions.
Fixed-rate mortgages offer predictability: We locked in a fixed rate before interest rates climbed.
The term appears in contexts involving loans, bonds, and service contracts where stability matters more than potential savings from rate drops.
