Bond Yield Formulas

Current Yield

Current Yield = (Annual Coupon Payment / Market Price) × 100%

Simple measure of income return based on current market price.

Yield to Maturity (YTM)

Price = Σ[C/(1+YTM)^t] + FV/(1+YTM)^n
  • C = Annual coupon payment
  • FV = Face value (par value)
  • n = Years to maturity

Example

$1,000 bond with 5% coupon, trading at $950:

  • • Annual coupon: $50
  • • Current yield: $50/$950 = 5.26%
  • • YTM is higher due to capital gain at maturity
