Introduction

Bond prices move inversely with market interest rates. Enter face value, coupon rate, market rate (yield), and years to maturity to estimate clean price, total interest, and yield to maturity context.

Bond Price and Yield

Bond prices move inversely with market interest rates. Enter face value, coupon rate, market rate (yield), and years to maturity to estimate clean price, total interest, and yield to maturity context.

Coupon Payments

Most U.S. corporate and Treasury notes pay semiannual coupons. The calculator accrues periodic interest based on the stated coupon and compounding assumptions in the form.

Premium vs Discount

When market rates rise above the coupon, bonds trade at a discount to par. When market rates fall, prices rise above par. Hold-to-maturity investors still receive par barring default.

Duration and Risk

Longer maturities and lower coupons mean more price sensitivity to rate changes. This tool focuses on pricing math; for portfolio duration, consult fund fact sheets or a fixed-income specialist.

Formula

Future Value with compounding: FV = P(1 + r/n)^(nt). For periodic deposits, each contribution grows from its deposit date at the same periodic rate.

FAQ
