Periodic rate cap

A periodic rate cap is a limitation on how much an interest rate can be adjusted from one period to the next. Periodic rate caps are important to holders of adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs); higher caps increase the possibility that the loan payments will rise beyond affordability at one adjustment.
