A 3/1 ARM offers a fixed interest rate for the first 3 years, then adjusts annually based on a market index. It typically carries a lower initial rate than 30-year fixed mortgages, making it well suited for borrowers who plan to sell or refinance before the adjustment period begins.

3/1 ARM rates reflect the initial fixed-rate period. Your rate will adjust after 3 years based on market conditions. Last Updated and Verified: August 28, 2026

Taxes & insurance premiums are not included in the payment, if included the actual payment obligation will be greater. Rates may vary based on loan size & geographical location. Loans with a loan to value greater than 80% may require private mortgage insurance, which will increase the monthly payment amount. Cost equals discount points paid. 3/1 Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARM) offer a fixed rate at the advertised APR for the first three years of the loan and may vary every year after the fixed period for a total of 360 payments (30-year term). Your rate will change every 12 months by no more than 2 percentage points up or down, never exceeding 6 percentage points above the initial rate and the lowest your rate can be is the initial rate. When the rate adjusts, your new rate will be based on the current index (the weekly average yield on United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year, as made available by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) plus a margin of 2.75% rounded to the nearest one-eighth as long as the total adjustment does not exceed the 2.00% adjustment cap.

Methodology & Data Sources

Direct-Sourced & Verified Rate Data: Every 3/1 ARM rate on this page is sourced directly from the official website of the lending institution. Adjustable-rate mortgage rates reflect the initial fixed-rate period and are verified daily.

Coast-to-Coast Lender Coverage: Our database monitors over 8,500 banks and credit unions across all 50 states, capturing a diverse mix of community credit unions, regional banks, and online lenders. This breadth ensures you see competitive rates that many rate surveys miss.

Time-Stamped for Full Transparency: Because 3/1 ARM rates can shift multiple times per week in response to economic conditions and Federal Reserve policy changes, every rate entry carries its own specific "last updated" date. You always know exactly how fresh the data is.

Proprietary Lender Safety Ratings: Rate alone is only part of the picture. MonitorBankRates evaluates the financial stability of every listed institution using regulatory FDIC and NCUA data. Our composite Health Grades (A+ to F), Star Ratings, and Texas Ratio calculations give you a clear view of lender stability so you can borrow with confidence from a financially sound institution.

Frequently Asked Questions About 3/1 ARM Rates

What is a 3/1 ARM?

A 3/1 ARM (Adjustable-Rate Mortgage) has a three-year initial fixed-rate period, after which the interest rate adjusts once per year for the remaining loan term. The "3" refers to the number of years the rate is fixed; the "1" means the rate can change every year after that. During the fixed period, your principal and interest payment stays the same. After year three, it adjusts annually based on a financial index — typically SOFR — plus a lender margin. The 3/1 ARM offers the lowest initial rate of the standard conforming ARM options.

How does the rate adjustment work after the 3-year fixed period?

After the initial fixed period, the rate resets annually. The new rate equals the current value of a benchmark index — most commonly the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) — plus a fixed margin set by the lender at origination (typically 2.5%–3.0%). For example, if SOFR is 4.50% and the margin is 2.75%, your adjusted rate would be 7.25%, subject to any applicable rate caps. The margin never changes; only the index value fluctuates.

What are rate caps on a 3/1 ARM?

Rate caps limit how much your interest rate can change at each adjustment and over the life of the loan. Most conforming 3/1 ARMs use a 2/2/5 cap structure: the first adjustment after the fixed period is capped at 2% above the initial rate, each subsequent annual adjustment is also capped at 2%, and the lifetime cap is 5% above the start rate. So if your initial rate is 6.00%, your rate can never exceed 11.00%. Always confirm the specific cap structure in your Loan Estimate before closing.

Who is a 3/1 ARM best suited for?

The 3/1 ARM is best for borrowers who are highly confident they will sell, refinance, or pay off the loan within three years. Common scenarios include buyers purchasing a starter home with a clear upgrade plan, professionals on short-term assignments or relocation packages, and investors with a defined short hold period. Because rate adjustments begin after just 36 months, the 3/1 carries real rate risk for anyone who stays beyond the fixed period — it is not suitable for borrowers without a solid short-term exit plan.

How does a 3/1 ARM compare to a 5/1 or 7/1 ARM?

The core trade-off across ARM terms is initial rate versus rate certainty. The 3/1 ARM offers the lowest starting rate but adjustments begin soonest. The 5/1 ARM provides two additional years of stability for a marginally higher rate, while the 7/1 ARM locks in the rate for seven years at the highest initial rate of the three options. If you are certain you will exit within three years, the 3/1 maximizes savings. If your timeline is uncertain, the extra certainty of a 5/1 or 7/1 is typically worth the small rate premium.

How does a 3/1 ARM compare to a 30-year fixed mortgage?

A 3/1 ARM typically starts 0.50%–1.50% below a comparable 30-year fixed mortgage, which on a $400,000 loan translates to roughly $130–$390 in monthly savings during the fixed period. If you sell or refinance before year three, you capture those savings with no rate risk. If you stay longer and rates have risen, your payment increases. The decision depends entirely on how long you plan to keep the loan: for stays under three years, the 3/1 ARM often wins on cost; beyond that, the fixed rate provides valuable insurance against rising rates.

What happens if I stay in the loan past the 3-year fixed period?

If you remain in the loan past year three, the rate adjusts annually based on the then-current SOFR index plus your margin. Depending on where rates are at that time, your payment could rise, stay flat, or even decrease. The rate caps limit the maximum increase at each adjustment and over the life of the loan, but payment changes can still be meaningful on a large balance. Most borrowers in this situation refinance into a new fixed-rate or ARM product to regain predictability.

What is the difference between interest rate and APR on a 3/1 ARM?

The interest rate is your fixed borrowing cost for the first three years. The APR on an ARM is calculated using the initial rate, projected future adjustments (based on current index levels at origination), and all applicable fees — annualized across the full loan term. Because it must project adjustments that have not yet occurred, the ARM APR is less certain than a fixed-loan APR. It is still useful for comparing all-in costs across lenders, but evaluate it alongside the initial rate, margin, and cap structure.

How are 3/1 ARM rates determined?

Lenders price 3/1 ARM rates primarily based on the 3-year U.S. Treasury yield and current SOFR levels, adding a spread for credit risk, servicing costs, and profit margin. Because the 3/1 ARM is a conforming loan eligible for sale to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, its pricing is heavily influenced by secondary market demand for adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities. Your individual rate also reflects credit score, down payment, loan-to-value ratio, property type, and market conditions at the time of rate lock.
