How to calculate yield to maturity in excel

By Yuriy Smirnov Ph.D. The yield to maturity (YTM) of a bond is the internal rate of return (IRR) if the bond is held until the maturity date. In other words, YTM can be defined as the discount rate at which the present value of all coupon payments and face value is equal to the current market price of a bond. Formula To find the yield to maturity of a bond, the following equation should be solved: Price = N Coupon payment + Face Value (1 + YTM)t (1 + YTM)N t = 1 where Price is the current market price of a bond, and N is the number of periods to maturity. To solve the equation above, the financial calculator or MS Excel is needed. For an approximate appraisal of yield to maturity, the following formula can be used: Approx YTM = Coupon Payment + Face Value - Price N Face Value + Price 2 Please note that coupon payments are usually made semiannually, so the semiannual YTM should be adjusted to the annual YTM as follows: Annual YTM = (1 + Semiannual YTM)2 - 1 Example A private investor has acquired a 10-year bond at the current market price of $965. The face value is $1,000, and the semiannual coupon rate is 7.5%. Let's assume that 2 years is left until the maturity date. This means that the investor will receive four semiannual coupon payments of $75 each half-year and $1,000 after 2 years. Semiannual coupon payment = $1,000 ? 7.5% = $75 To calculate the yield to maturity of the bond, we have to use the equation mentioned above. $965 = $75 + $75 + $75 + $75 + $1,000 (1 + YTM)1 (1 + YTM)2 (1 + YTM)3 (1 + YTM)4 To solve this equation, you can use the IRR function of MS Excel as in the figure below. Select output cell B4. Click fx button, select All category, and select IRR function from the list. In field Values, select the data range B2:F2, leave empty field Guess, and press the OK button. Thus, the yield to maturity of the bond is 8.57%. Using the IRR function allows you to get a precise appraisal of YTM, but we can also get a rough appraisal by approximating. Approx YTM = $75 + $1,000 - $965 = 8.52% 4 $1,000 + $965 2 As we can see, the approximate appraisal is 0.05% percentage point less, which is unacceptable in financial calculations, but it can be used if a rough appraisal is needed. The semiannual rate should now be adjusted to an annual basis, so the annual YTM is 17.87%. Annual YTM = (1 + 0.0857)2 - 1 = 17.87% Current market price vs. YTM The relationship between the current market price of a bond and its yield to maturity can be described as follows: If YTM is equal to the coupon rate, the bond is currently trading at face value. If YTM is higher than the coupon rate, the current market price of a bond will be lower than its face value, which means trading at a discount. If YTM is lower than the coupon rate, the current market price of a bond will be higher than its face value, which means trading at a premium. This relationship can be illustrated on the data of the example above. Indeed, if the bond is acquired at face value, its yield to maturity is equal to the coupon rate. Limitations of yield to maturity The yield to maturity has the same drawback as the internal rate of return and, namely, the assumption that all coupon payments are reinvested at YTM. Taking into account that capital market conditions are constantly changing, this assumption is untenable in the long run. If the actual reinvestment rate would be lower than the expected YTM, the investment will be overpriced, resulting in a loss. If this article was helpful for you please thank our authors! Bond Valuation Yield to Call, YTC YIELD TO MATURITY ( YTM ) YIELD TO MATURITY ( YTM ) CALCULATOR What is YTM? / Define YIELD TO MATURITY YTM means Yield to Maturity. Academically YTM is defined as the market interest rate that equates a bond's present value of interest payments and principal repayment with its price. To understand it better, YTM can be defined as the compound rate of return that investors will receive for a bond with a maturity greater than one year if they hold the bond to maturity and reinvest all cash flows at the same rate of interest. It takes into account purchase price, redemption value, coupon yield, and the time between interest payment. How is YTM Calculated ? / Excel Formula for Yield to Maturity The YTM is easy to compute where the acquisition cost of a bond is at par and coupon payments are effected annually. In such a situation, the yield-to-maturity will be equal to coupon payment. However, for other cases, an approximate YTM can be found by using a bond yield table. However, because calculating a bond's YTM is complex and involves trial and error, it is usually done by using a programmable business calculator. Another best method is to calcualte the same through computer (In EXCEL you can use YIELD function). Calculating the YTM is an iterative process, involving repeated calculations that get successively closer to a solution. The exact same formula is used to calculate both YTM and YTC (Yield to Call). The only difference is that, for the YTC, the contractual or estimated call date is used instead of the contractual maturity date. To use the Excel function the following variables are used : Settlement date Maturity date Coupon rate Par amount to be received at maturity Purchase price CLICK HERE TO CALCULATE YIELD TO MATURITY (YTM) IN EXCEL YTM's Relation With Price ? YTM and the price of the Bonds have inverse relations i.e. if YTM goes up the price of the Bonds will come down and when YTM goes down the price of the Bonds will go up. The following table gives an indication between the YTM and current yield, when bonds are quoted at discount or at a premium or at par :- Bond Selling At. Relationship Discount Coupon Rate < Current Yield < YTM Premium Coupon Rate > Current Yield > YTM Par Value Coupon Rate = Current Yield = YTM Thus, the YTM will be greater than the current yield when the bond is selling at a discount and will be less if it is selling at a premium. HOW YTM IS RELEVANT FOR VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS IN INDIA / What are FIMMDA Rates?:- Banks in India are required to value their assets at the end of the each quarter at least. As per RBI's implementation of prudential norms, banks are required to mark-to-market (M2M) their investments in government securities and other Non SLR investments in Held for Trading (HFT) and Available for Sale (AFS). This means that if interest rates rise during a year, the market value of the bonds will fall and in case interest rates go down, the market value of the Bonds will rise. For the sake of uniformity in valuation, RBI has asked Banks to use the prices / YTMs released by FIMMDA every month for valuation of their securities. While banks have to make a provision when the value of their bonds depreciate, they cannot book profits. However, they are allowed to write back the depreciation provided in the previous year. DEFICIENCIES IN THE YTM METHOD? YTM, is a projection of future performance. Since future interest rates are unknown, YTM must assume a reinvestment rate, and it uses the YTM rate itself. Thus YTM is an implicit function that can only be evaluated by the method of successive approximations. In practice it is virtually impossible to reinvest the interest payments at exactly the YTM rate. Usually they are accumulated in an account at a lower interest rate before being reinvested. This means that the YTM almost always overstates the true return. If the interest earnings are spent rather than reinvested, the return will be even lower. It is also important to recognize that the interest payments are normally trimmed by a tax bite, making it impossible to reinvest the full amount of each payment. YTM is almost always quoted in terms of bond-equivalent yield. This reflects the fact that bond interest payments are normally made twice a year at half the coupon rate. The compounding of the (assumed) reinvested interest payments twice a year results in a slightly higher annualized return than would be the case for once-a-year reinvested interest payments at the full coupon rate. Thus YTM expressed as bond-equivalent yield slightly understates the YTM when viewed as the annualized compound rate of return. In the absence of taxes, YTM would be an accurate measure of return if the yield curve were flat and interest rates remained constant over the life of the bond. It becomes a poorer measure as the yield curve steepens, or as the purchase price deviates further from par. YTM FOR ZERO COUPON BONDS - WHY SUPERIOR METHOD? The reason that YTM applies exactly to a zero coupon bond is that there is no interest to be reinvested. The entire return comes from the difference between the purchase price and the face value of the bond. In ordinary bonds, this difference is treated as a capital gain/loss and taxed when sold. However in a zero coupon bond, that gain is treated as interest income and taxed annually according to the gain in accreted value. Since there are no interest payments to reinvest and therefore none to spend, achieving the quoted YTM is automatic when a zero coupon bond is held to maturity. Of course this ignores the annual income tax bite. Details People who invest in bonds are always anxious to know the current yield, the yield to maturity and the yield to call of the bonds they purchased. Using Excel, you can develop a bond yield calculator easily with the help of a number of formulas. You just need to enter the inputs like face value, coupon rate, years to maturity etc and Excel will calculate the bond yield and display it for you.Open Excel and save your file as yield.xlsx.

It is the measurement of the number of standard deviation a specific number is above or below a mean. The formula to calculate z-score is: z = (x - ) / where: z is the z-score, x is the value to be standardized, is the mean of the given set of data, is the standard deviation of the given set of data. Suppose you are a student and there are total 10 students in your class including you. After the final exam result is published, you want to know how well you performed compared to the average student's mean score. You can find this easily using z-score.Calculate z-scoreOpen Excel and save your file as zscore.xlsx. Type "Name" in A1, "Marks" in B1, "z-score" in C1, "Mean" in F1 and "Standard Deviation" in F2. You should not enter the double quotes when you type in the data. You can format these cells and make them bold. Type ten different names in cells from A2 to A11 and type 10 different marks in cells from B2 to B11. Now your screen will look like this though the entries are different.Click the cell G1 and go to Formulas (main menu) --> More Functions (in the Function Library group) --> Statistical and select the AVERAGE function.You will get a screen like this:In the textbox Number1, enter B2:B11 and click OK.Click the cell G2 and go to Formulas (main menu) --> More Functions (in the Function Library group) --> Statistical and select the STDEVPA function.You will get a screen like this:In the textbox Value1, enter B2:B11 and click OK.Now your screen will look like this:Click the cell C2 and go to Formulas (main menu) --> More Functions (in the Function Library group) --> Statistical and select the STANDARDIZE function.You will get a window like this:Enter "B2" in the X textbox, enter "$G$1" in the Mean textbox and "$G$2" in the Standard_dev textbox. Click OK and you will get a value in the cell C2. Copy the formula in cell C2 and paste the same in cells C3 to C11. Now your screen will look like this. Of course, the values would be different based on your entries.Instead of using the STANDARDIZE function, you can directly enter the formula in the address bar like this:In this case, we are using the formula to calculate the z-score directly instead of using the built-in STANDARDIZE function.If you analyze the data, you could find that the highest z-score value is 1.600279 which is the z-score of Paul Lopez who scored the highest marks of 592. Sarah Chris has got the lowest z-score and obviously the lowest score in the exam.You could find both positive and negative z-scores. Students who got scores more than the mean (value in cell G1) get positive z-scores and those who scored less than the mean get negative z-scores. If the z-score of a student is zero, it means that his or her score is same as the mean value. We can test this easily. Adjust the scores in such a way that one of the student's score is same as the average. Make changes to the scores as shown in the following image:Here, you could find that the z-score of Sarah Chris is 0 because her score is same the average score. Students who scored more than 500 has got positive z-score and those who scored less than 500 has negative z-score.Further reading: How to calculate the real interest rate?
