About Bond Price Calculator
The Bond Price Calculator determines the theoretical fair market price of a bond by discounting all future coupon payments and the final par value repayment at the market interest rate (YTM).
Formula & Mathematical Calculation
Bond Price = Sum_{t=1}^n [ Coupon / ( 1 + YTM )^t ] + [ Face Value / ( 1 + YTM )^n ]
Calculation Example
$1,000 Par Bond (6% Coupon = $60/yr, 10 Years to Maturity, Market YTM = 7.0%): Bond trades at a discount: Fair Market Price = $929.76.
