periodic payments

Scheduled money transfers

Periodic payments are amounts paid at regular intervals rather than as a lump sum.

The term appears in legal, financial, and insurance contexts: The settlement was structured as periodic payments over twenty years.

Alimony, annuities, and installment plans all involve periodic payments—weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually.
