The present value of the face value (i.e. the maturity value) is calculated as follows: Therefore, the price of a bond is given by the following formula: Example 1: Bond with annual coupon payments. Company A has issued a bond having face value of $100,000 carrying annual coupon rate of 8% and maturing in 10 years. The market interest rate is 10%. The price of the bond is calculated as the present value of all future cash flows: Example 2: Bond with semiannual coupon payments. Company S has issued a bond having face value of $100,000 carrying coupon rate of 9% to be paid semiannually and maturing in 10 years.
Bond valuation is a method used to determine the expected trading price of a bond. The expected trading price is calculated by adding the sum of the present values of all coupon payments to the present value of the par value (no worries, the bond value calculator on this page performs all of the calculations for you).
