Show formula & working

Current yield = Annual coupon ÷ Market price

    How this works

    Current yield is the income return on a bond at today's price.

    It ignores any gain or loss when the bond is redeemed at face value.

    Frequently asked questions

    Why can current yield differ from the coupon rate?

    The coupon is a share of face value; current yield is a share of the price you pay.

    Which is better for comparing bonds?

    YTM, because it includes the gain or loss to maturity.
