The line graph, above, shows the total costs for each loan over the loan term. Total costs include mortgage interest and closing costs. If the rate on an ARM loan is lower over the loan term than the fixed rate, you will pay less interest than with the fixed-rate loan. If the rate on the ARM loan rises to a rate that is higher than the fixed rate, however, you may pay more in interest on the ARM loan. The line graph, above, shows the difference in total costs between the ARM and fixed-rate loans over the loan term. Total costs include mortgage interest and closing costs.
