It's just 4 inputs - price now, par, coupon rate and date of maturity. la papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-49324088342694950012016-04-21T09:50:17.681+08:002016-04-21T09:50:17.681+08:00Hi smk,

Basically it's just take the total returns (capital gain/loss from buying above/below par + Sum of all coupons received till maturity) then divided by the duration of the period held, expressed as a % of the buy price.<br /><br />YTM (yield to maturity) is calculated using one of those free online bond calculators. Just type in ytm bond calculator and you have plenty to choose from.la papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-43227831045533062132016-04-20T15:57:36.528+08:002016-04-20T15:57:36.528+08:00Hi,
