Bond Present Value Estimator

This calculator estimates the present value of a bond based on its coupon payments, interest rate, face value, and time to maturity. It's a useful tool for investors assessing the fair value of fixed-income securities like treasury or corporate bonds.

Calculate the Present Value of a Bond

Input Fields
C
$

n
Enter the number of remaining payment periods
F
$
Enter the bond face value (par value at maturity)
If enabled, the result will update automatically when you change any value.

Bond Value Calculation Formula

Formula
$$\text{Bond Value} = C \times \left(1 – \frac{1}{(1 + r)^n}\right) \div r + \frac{F}{(1 + r)^n}$$

Where:

  • C – annual coupon payment
  • r – market interest rate (as a decimal)
  • n – number of years until maturity
  • F – face/par value of the bond

This formula calculates the bond’s 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.
