Yield to Call Calculator FAQ
- What is yield to call and how is it different from yield to maturity?
- Yield to call calculates the return on a callable bond if it is redeemed by the issuer before the maturity date, while yield to maturity assumes the bond is held until its full term. YTC is relevant for bonds with call features that may be exercised by the issuer.
- Can yield to call be negative?
- Yes, if a bond is purchased at a significant premium above its face value and the call price is lower than the purchase price, the yield to call can be negative, meaning the investor would lose money if the bond is called.
- What inputs are needed to use the yield to call calculator?
- The calculator requires the bond's face value, coupon rate or payment, current market price, and the number of years until the call date to compute the yield.
- Is yield to call the same as the current yield?
- No, current yield only considers the annual coupon payment relative to the market price, while yield to call factors in the time value of money and the return if the bond is called on a specific date.
