Percent Cap
An interest rate cap contract with a payout that has a variable-often a percentage relationship-to the payout on a normal cap. Usually the payout on a percent cap will be lower than the payout on a standard cap. A percent cap payout might rise more slowly than a normal cap payout at lower rate levels and at the same rate as the standard cap payout after rates exceed a designated level. Many variations are possible.
