PRICE returns a bond’s price per 100 face value. When market yield rises above the coupon, price falls below 100 — the see-saw every debt-fund investor feels.

Syntax

=PRICE(settlement, maturity, rate, yld, redemption, frequency, [basis])
Argument What it means
rate Coupon rate.
yld Market yield.
frequency 1 annual, 2 half-yearly, 4 quarterly.

Examples

Example 1

=PRICE(DATE(2019,11,1), DATE(2029,11,1), 7%, 7.5%, 100, 2)

About 96.5 — the 7% bond trades at a discount.
