Fixed Leg
The Fixed Leg is the portion of a swap that requires payments at a predetermined fixed rate on the notional amount, in contrast to a floating leg whose payments vary with a reference rate.
Example: In a $100 million interest rate swap, Party A pays a fixed rate on the notional while Party B pays a floating rate tied to a reference rate; the fixed leg yields predictable payments to Party A regardless of fluctuations in the reference rate.
