Formula

Bonds are fixed-income securities that pay regular interest (coupon) payments and return the face value at maturity. This calculator helps you analyze bond investments by computing coupon payments, current yield, and approximate yield to maturity.

Coupon = Face Value Ã— Coupon Rate / Payments per Year, Current Yield = Annual Coupon / Market Price

Percentage: The percentage value you want to apply

Number: The original number or value

Result: The calculated result

How It Works

1Enter the bond's face value and coupon rate.
2Set the years to maturity and payment frequency.
3Optionally enter the market price to calculate yields.
4See coupon payments, current yield, and approximate YTM.

Examples

$1,000 bond, 5% coupon, 10yr maturity, $950 market price, semi-annual

1.Coupon per payment = $1,000 Ã— 5% / 2 = $25
2.Annual coupon = $25 Ã— 2 = $50
3.Current yield = $50 / $950 = 5.26%

Result: $50.00

Frequently Asked Questions

A bond is a fixed-income instrument that represents a loan made by an investor to a borrower (typically corporate or governmental). The issuer pays regular interest and returns the face value at maturity.

YTM is the total return anticipated on a bond if held until maturity. It accounts for all coupon payments and the difference between the purchase price and face value.

Bond prices and yields move inversely. When market interest rates rise, existing bond prices fall, and vice versa. This is called interest rate risk.
