Flat Price

    0.04 sec.
Flat price (also clean price)
The quoted newspaper price of a bond that does not include accrued interest. The price paid by the purchaser is the full price.

Flat Price
The price of a coupon bond that does not include any interest that accrues. That is, a flat price is the price of a bond discounting future cash flows. Because the dirty price does include interest between coupon payments, the dirty price and the flat price will equal each other only immediately following a coupon payment. Most American exchanges use the flat price when quoting bond prices. It is also called the clean price.
