A margin is the number of percentage points that a lender adds to the prime rate (or other index) to calculate the variable interest rate. The margin is added to the index to determine the interest rate that will be charged on credit cards and other variable-rate loans. For example, if the prime rate is 3% and the credit card issuer's margin is 5%, then the interest rate on your credit card would be 8%.
