With most Option ARM mortgages, your minimum payment may change each year, it can only increase a certain percentage of the previous year's minimum payment amount. Then every five years, your minimum payment will be recalculated to help you stay on track to pay off your loan. After each recalculation, your new minimum payment will be based on your current interest rate, your unpaid principal balance and your remaining loan term. However, the payment cap will not apply. The interest only payment on an Option ARM mortgage is the second lowest payment option and is the amount needed to repay the full interest due each month. No principal is paid down unless you choose to include an additional amount. Any additional amount on top of the amount needed to cover the interest will be applied to your principal.
