Frequently asked questions
What is yield to maturity?

Yield to maturity is the annualized return implied by the bond's price, coupon payments, face value and remaining time to maturity.

What is current yield?

Current yield is annual coupon income divided by the bond's current market price.

Why is YTM different from the coupon rate?

YTM also reflects the gain or loss between the bond's purchase price and its face value at maturity.
