Every figure below is labelled in the currency you pick. Amounts are not converted — enter values in the same currency.
What a 3-year term costs
On $940 at 6.50%, a 3-year term gives a payment of $28.81 and total interest of $97 over the life of the loan. Against the 5-year baseline the payment is $10.42 higher and the lifetime interest is $66 — the shorter term saves that much.
Who a 3-year term suits
A shorter term is the cheapest way to borrow if the payment fits comfortably. The risk is that it is contractual: a 30-year loan with voluntary extra payments reaches a similar place while letting you stop in a bad month.
Current yield ignores the capital gain
A bond bought at 940 and redeemed at 1,000 returns 60 dollars of capital on top of the coupons, and current yield misses it entirely. That is why a discount bond's yield to maturity always exceeds its current yield, and why the two figures diverge most on long-dated bonds trading far from par.
The formula
Current yield = annual coupon ÷ market price; approximate YTM adds the amortised discount
Every result on this page comes from this formula. Nothing is rounded until the final display, so figures match a spreadsheet to the cent.
