Frequently Asked Questions - July 2025 AFR Rates
When do I need to use AFR rates?
AFR rates must be used for private loans between family members, business partners, or any non-commercial lending arrangement to avoid gift tax implications. The IRS requires loans to charge at least the AFR rate to be considered legitimate debt rather than a gift.
How often do AFR rates change?
The IRS publishes new AFR rates monthly, typically in the last week of each month for the following month. Our calculator is updated with the July 2025 rates from IRS Revenue Ruling 2025-13. Rates are based on average market yields of outstanding marketable obligations of the United States with varying periods to maturity.
Can I use a rate lower than the AFR?
No, using a rate below the AFR can result in the loan being treated as a gift by the IRS. This could trigger gift tax consequences for the lender and imputed income for the borrower. Always use at least the minimum AFR rate for your loan term.
What's the difference between AFR categories?
AFR rates are categorized by loan term: short-term (3 years or less), mid-term (over 3 to 9 years), and long-term (over 9 years). Longer-term loans typically have higher AFR rates to account for increased risk over time.
