DEFINITION of 'Variable Rate Mortgage'. A type of home loan in which the interest rate is not fixed. The two most common types of mortgages in the United States are fixed rate and variable rate (also called adjustable rate). With a fixed rate mortgage, the interest rate does not change for the entire loan term. Borrowers know with certainty what the interest and principal payment on their mortgage will be each month for as long as they carry the mortgage. With a variable rate mortgage, the interest rate adjusts periodically.
A conventional fixed-rate mortgage is set for a certain span of time at a specific interest rate that never changes. With a fixed-rate mortgage, your payments remain the same throughout the life of the loan, apart from any fluctuations in the cost of homeowner&#039;s insurance and property taxes.
