ARM Mortgage Formulas

ARM Rate Calculation

New Rate = Index Rate + Margin
  • Index Rate = SOFR, Treasury yield, or other benchmark
  • Margin = Fixed percentage added by lender (typically 2-3%)

Rate Caps (5/2/5 Example)

Initial Cap / Periodic Cap / Lifetime Cap
  • 5 = Max 5% increase at first adjustment
  • 2 = Max 2% increase per adjustment after
  • 5 = Max 5% total increase over life of loan

Example: 5/1 ARM

Starting at 5% with 2% margin:

  • • Fixed rate: 5% for first 5 years
  • • After year 5: Adjusts annually
  • • If index is 4%: New rate = 4% + 2% = 6%
  • • Subject to rate caps
