Calculate the Present Value of a Bond
Bond Value Calculation Formula
Where:
- C β annual coupon payment
- r β market interest rate (as a decimal)
- n β number of years until maturity
- F β face/par value of the bond
This formula calculates the bondβs value by summing the present value of future coupon payments and the discounted face value.
The Bond Value Calculator is essential for evaluating fixed-income investments. It considers both the periodic interest (coupon) payments and the lump-sum repayment at maturity, adjusting them for market rate changes. Use it to determine whether a bond is priced fairly or to estimate the yield impact of changing rates. Ideal for financial analysts, investors, and students of finance.
