Frequently asked questions

It is the annual coupon payment divided by the bond's current market price. A 50 coupon on a 950 bond yields about 5.26%.

The coupon rate is based on face value; the current yield is based on the price you actually pay, which may differ.

If the price is below face value, the current yield is higher than the coupon rate.

No. It ignores any gain or loss at maturity. Yield to maturity captures that fuller return.

The Bond Current Yield Calculator uses the formula: Current yield = Face value × Coupon rate ÷ 100 ÷ Current market price × 100. For example, with face value of 1,000, coupon rate of 5% and current market price of 950, the current yield is 5.2632%.
