The accrued interest is estimated so that both the clean and dirty bond values can be presented. The inputs are par value, coupon rate, coupon payment frequency, maturity date and current market rate. The utility automatically outputs clean bond price, accrued interest and dirty bond price. PROGRAM INPUTS: You can revise inputs at any time. 1-Bond Par Value in dollars. 2-Coupon Rate in percent. 3-Coupon Payment Frequency (per year). NOTE: Use "0" frequency to get price for Zero-Coupon bond. 4-Bond Maturity Date (m/d/yy). NOTE: Red date means unusable. 5-Current Market Rate in percent. PROGRAM RESULTS: 1-Clean Bond Price in dollars. 2-Accrued Interest in dollars. 3-Dirty Bond Price in dollars. NOTE: Results are automatically revised as entries are changed. The accrued interest calculation is a compromise between 30/360 and actual/actual day count conventions and gives a fair estimate within a day or two.
