The rate of interest on a loan, expressed as a percentage.
The annual cost of a loan to a borrower. Like an interest rate, an APR is expressed as a percentage. Unlike an interest rate, however, it includes other charges or fees (such as mortgage insurance, most closing costs, points and loan origination fees) to reflect the total cost of the loan.
An amount paid to the lender, typically at closing, in order to lower the interest rate. Also known as mortgage points or discount points. One point equals one percent of the loan amount (for example, 2 points on a $100,000 mortgage would equal $2,000).
The estimated monthly payment includes principal, interest and any required mortgage insurance (for borrowers with less than a 20% down payment). The payment displayed does not include amounts for hazard insurance or property taxes which will result in a higher actual monthly payment. If you have an adjustable-rate loan, your monthly payment may change once every six months (after the initial period) based on any increase or decrease in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) index, published daily by the New York Fed. Note: Bank of America is not affiliated with the New York Fed. The New York Fed does not sanction, endorse, or recommend any products or services offered by Bank of America.
A home loan with an interest rate that remains the same for the entire term of the loan.
Also called a variable-rate mortgage, an adjustable-rate mortgage has an interest rate that may change periodically during the life of the loan in accordance with changes in an index such as the U.S. Treasury-Index (T-Bill) or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) published daily by the New York Fed. Bank of America ARMs generally use SOFR as the basis for ARM interest rate adjustments. Note: Bank of America is not affiliated with the New York Fed. The New York Fed does not sanction, endorse, or recommend any products or services offered by Bank of America.
Your monthly payment may fluctuate as the result of any interest rate changes, and a lender may charge a lower interest rate for an initial portion of the loan term. Most ARMs have a rate cap that limits the amount of interest rate change allowed during both the adjustment period (the time between interest rate recalculations) and the life of the loan.

Chart data is for illustrative purposes only and is subject to change without notice. Advertised rate, points and APR are based on a set of loan assumptions (refer Loan assumptions and disclosures above for important information). Your actual rate and APR may differ from chart data. Chart accuracy is not guaranteed and products may not be available for your situation. Monthly payments shown include principal and interest only, and (if applicable), any required mortgage insurance. Any other fees such as property tax and homeowners insurance are not included and will result in a higher actual monthly payment. Advertised loans assume escrow accounts (monthly collection of subject property taxes and any applicable homeowners insurance with your monthly principal and interest payment) unless you request otherwise and the loan program and applicable law allows. Should you choose to waive escrows, your rate, costs and/or APR may increase. ARM interest rates and payments are subject to increase after the initial fixed-rate period (5 years for a 5y/6m ARM, 7 years for a 7y/6m ARM and 10 years for a 10y/6m ARM; the 6m shows that the interest rate is subject to adjustment once every six months thereafter).

Learn more about 15‑year and 30‑year mortgage rates Expand all panels | Collapse all panels Why is the interest rate for a 15‑year mortgage different than the rate for a 30‑year mortgage?A bank incurs lower costs and deals with fewer risk factors when issuing a 15‑year mortgage as opposed to a 30‑year mortgage. As a result, a 15‑year mortgage has a lower interest rate than a 30‑year mortgage.
It’s worth noting, too, that your payback of the principal (the amount being borrowed, separate from the interest) is spread out over 15 years instead of 30 years, so your monthly mortgage payment will be significantly higher with a 15‑year mortgage as opposed to a 30‑year mortgage. However, the total amount of interest you pay on a 15‑year fixed-rate loan will be significantly lower than what you’d pay with a 30‑year fixed-rate mortgage.
How do 15‑ or 30‑year fixed mortgage rates compare to adjustable rates?With fixed‑rate mortgages, the interest rate remains the same for the entire term of the loan. With an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM), the interest rate may change periodically during the life of the loan. You may get a lower interest rate for the initial portion of the loan term, but your monthly payment may fluctuate as the result of any interest rate changes.
What’s the difference between APR and interest rate?The APR is the annual cost of a loan to a borrower. Like an interest rate, an APR is expressed as percentage. Unlike an interest rate, however, it includes other charges or fees (such as mortgage insurance, most closing costs, points and loan origination fees) to reflect the total cost of the loan. As a result, APR is higher than the interest rate.
Since all lenders must follow the same rules to ensure the accuracy of the APR, you can use the APR as a good basis for comparing certain costs of loans. (Remember, though: Your monthly payment is not based on APR, it's based on the interest rate on your promissory note.)
