How It Works

Discounts future periodic coupon payments and maturity face value back to present value using the market YTM rate.

How to Use

1. Enter face value, coupon rate, and market YTM rate. 2. Select years to maturity and payment frequency. 3. View calculated fair bond price.

Understanding the Results

If YTM equals coupon rate, the bond trades at par ($1,000). If YTM is below coupon rate, bond trades at premium.
