Online Bond Yield Calculator – Simplifying Bond Yield and Bond Price

On investments in general, financial returns are expressed on per annum or per year basis. Simply put if you invest INR 100 and make INR 10 in one year, then your return is 10%. But if you make the same INR 10 in 2 years, then your return is just 10÷2 = 5%. Bonds typically have income streams spread over years. Hence, accounting for all those future cash flows post investment and expressing it as one single number for easy understanding is essential.

The most important terminology that accounts for all future cashflows in bonds and that one number is Bond Yield. Oxford Dictionary meaning of “yield” is to ‘provide or produce something’.

Hence, Bond Yield just means what a bond produces or what financial returns you get from bonds over its time period of existence.

This is expressed as a percentage. Hence, a Bond Yield of 7.5% means you earn 7.5% returns on the bond when you hold it to its maturity (also known as Yield to Maturity).

What is a Bond Yield Calculator?

Bond Calculator is a mathematical tool that allows investors and issuers to calculate Bond Yield at a specific price or Bond Price at a desired level of yield. Calculations on bonds need various factors as input like coupon interest, coupon payment dates, maturity date, issue price, government holiday calendar for adjustments, principal repayment schedule and many more. Typically, large institutions involved in bond investments build this capability using statistical formulae, as this is their core business. For individual investors, trusts and small treasuries, it is a cumbersome task to stay on top of the thousands of bonds that are outstanding! Hence a standard Bond Calculator can assist where investors have to input all the variables to get their desired calculations.
