When the interest-only period end, the monthly payment is recalculated to include full principal and interest payments for the remaining loan term. With adjustable-rate mortgages (ARM), the interest rate is variable and may increase or decrease after the initial fixed rate period based on changes to an index. This could result in an increase in the monthly payment. Geographical variations may apply. Specific information about loan adjustment period available at application.
