A bond's price is the present value of its cash flows, and the inverse relationship between price and yield falls straight out of that: the coupons are fixed, so if required yields rise the only thing that can adjust is the price. Here the coupon matches the market yield exactly, so the bond prices at par.

Where to go next

The Bond Price question rarely arrives on its own. These are the ones that usually come with it:

Annuity Calculator — Present and future value, ordinary and due.
Present Value Calculator — A lump sum, a level stream, or both.
Future Value Calculator — A lump sum plus contributions, in nominal and real terms.
Loan & EMI Calculator — Monthly payment, total interest, and a full amortization schedule.

Frequently asked questions

How is a bond priced?

By discounting every coupon and the face value back to today at the market yield, then adding them. This page shows both components separately.

Why do bond prices fall when rates rise?

Because the coupon is fixed. If new bonds pay more, an existing bond can only compete by costing less — the price falls until its effective yield matches the market.

What does trading at a premium or discount mean?

Above or below face value. A coupon higher than the market yield trades at a premium; lower trades at a discount; equal trades at par.

What is current yield?

The annual coupon divided by the price. It is a rough measure that ignores any capital gain or loss at maturity, which yield to maturity accounts for.
