A floating payment is a payment that does not have a fixed due date. This allows the lender to call the payment as certain circumstances require (as compared to a fixed payment where you know exactly how much and the payment needs to be made).
A stepped contract is a contract that has an interest rate that incrementally increases during the duration of the contract. A good example of this is a lease, it is very common to find a lease that will give you a fixed interest rate for the first year and each subsequent year will build in additional increases in that interest rate.
