Yield To Maturity - YTM

    0.09 sec.
Yield To Maturity - YTM
The rate of return anticipated on a bond if it is held until the maturity date. YTM is considered a long-term bond yield expressed as an annual rate. The calculation of YTM takes into account the current market price, par value, coupon interest rate and time to maturity. It is also assumed that all coupons are reinvested at the same rate. Sometimes this is simply referred to as "yield" for short.

Notes:
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.
