• ANNUAL CAP
  
  The limit on the amount an adjustable rate mortgage's interest rate can change over a 12-month period. An annual cap prevents your payments from changing too dramatically, even if the factors that determine changes in an adjustable mortgage's rate rise or fall sharply during that period.
