How It Works
Free bond calculator to compute the yield, price, and accrued interest of bonds, supporting various coupon frequencies.
A bond is a fixed-income instrument that represents a loan made by an investor to a borrower (typically corporate or governmental). A bond pays periodic interest payments (coupons) and returns the face value at maturity. Bonds are considered lower-risk investments compared to stocks, though risk levels vary widely depending on the issuer.
Key bond terms include face value (par value), coupon rate (the interest rate paid on the face value), maturity date (when the bond is repaid), and yield (the total return on the bond). The yield to maturity (YTM) is the most comprehensive measure, reflecting the total return if the bond is held to maturity.
Bond prices have an inverse relationship with interest rates: when interest rates rise, existing bond prices fall, and vice versa. Bond ratings from agencies like Moody's and S&P assess the creditworthiness of the issuer, with higher-rated bonds offering lower yields but greater safety.
