Fixed Rate vs Variable Rate
A fixed interest rate remains unchanged for the entire duration of the loan. A variable interest rate is tied to an underlying financial benchmark plus a lender margin.
Fixed vs Variable Interest Rates: Key Differences
Discover how fixed interest rates protect your budget from rate hikes, while floating variable rates fluctuate with central bank benchmarks.
💡 Poin Utama
- Fixed rate loans maintain the exact same interest rate throughout the agreed period.
- Variable rate loans fluctuate based on central bank benchmark rates.
- Fixed rates provide certainty; variable rates can be cheaper when interest rates are falling but risky when rates rise.
