Fixed Rate
When you take out a fixed rate mortgage your interest rate will not change throughout the entire term of your mortgage. As a result, you'll know exactly how much your payments will be and how much of your mortgage will be paid off at the end or your term.
Variable Rate
With a variable-rate mortgage, your rate will be set in relation to Bank Prime at the beginning of each month. In other words, it may vary from month-to-month. Historically, variable-rate mortgages have tended to cost less than fixed-rate mortgages when interest rates are fairly stable.
When rates change, your payment amount may or may not remain the same depending on the lender´s policy. However, the amount that is applied toward interest and principal will change. If interest rates drop, more of your mortgage payment is applied to the principal balance owing. This can help you pay off your mortgage faster.
