Floating Interest Rate Clause Samples
A Floating Interest Rate clause defines how the interest rate on a loan or financial obligation will vary over time based on a specified benchmark, such as LIBOR or the prime rate, plus a fixed margin. In practice, the interest rate is periodically adjusted—often monthly or quarterly—according to changes in the chosen benchmark, which means the borrower's payments may increase or decrease during the term of the agreement. This clause allows both parties to share the risk of interest rate fluctuations, ensuring that the rate remains aligned with prevailing market conditions.
