This rate caps how much the loan’s interest rate can change annually, protecting borrowers from extreme rate fluctuations. The adjustment rate is crucial for borrowers with variable-rate loans, as it directly impacts monthly payments. Understanding the annual adjustment rate helps borrowers anticipate future payments and assess the financial impact of potential rate changes on loan affordability.
