Yield To Call Calculator

Background.

This yield to call page is built to compute the common approximate yield-to-call shortcut from coupon and annualized pull to call price. Approximate YTC divides annual coupon plus straight-line price change by average current and call price. The implemented convention is “approximate YTC = [annual coupon + (call price − current price) ÷ years] ÷ average of current and call prices.”

The editable entries are current clean bond price, call price, annual coupon cash flow, years to first modeled call. Use values from the document or measurement that governs this yield to call question; the defaults are only the worked fixture below. It is not the bond cash-flow IRR, ignores coupon reinvestment and assumes the issuer calls on the selected date. If that yield to call condition is not true, choose a calculation that models the missing convention.

FINRA, Bond Yield and Return; current yield, yield to maturity and yield to call documents the convention or governing rule used here. The yield to call output is a transparent scenario under those facts: it does not manufacture an unentered market price, professional determination, carrier quote, legal eligibility finding or locally adopted code value.

What is yield to call calculator?

Yield To Call is the relationship behind this decision: approximate YTC divides annual coupon plus straight-line price change by average current and call price. On this page it means approximate YTC = [annual coupon + (call price − current price) ÷ years] ÷ average of current and call prices. It is not the bond cash-flow IRR, ignores coupon reinvestment and assumes the issuer calls on the selected date; that is the line between the reported quantity and a broader investing analysis.

How to use this calculator.

1. 01Confirm that “approximate YTC = [annual coupon + (call price − current price) ÷ years] ÷ average of current and call prices” matches the yield to call convention you need.
2. 02Replace the fixture values for current clean bond price, call price, annual coupon cash flow, years to first modeled call with dated values from the governing record.
3. 03Keep all currencies, measurement units and time periods on the same basis before calculating.
4. 04Read approximate annual yield to call together with this boundary: It is not the bond cash-flow IRR, ignores coupon reinvestment and assumes the issuer calls on the selected date.

The formula.

The calculation uses approximate YTC = [annual coupon + (call price − current price) ÷ years] ÷ average of current and call prices. In this yield to call model, the entered terms are current clean bond price, call price, annual coupon cash flow, years to first modeled call. Approximate YTC divides annual coupon plus straight-line price change by average current and call price, which is why the relationship is presented under this name rather than as a universal alternative. It is not the bond cash-flow IRR, ignores coupon reinvestment and assumes the issuer calls on the selected date. Calculations keep full decimal precision through the relationship and round only the returned display values.
