Enter the bond purchase price ($) and the current bond value ($) into the Return on Bond Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Return on Bond.

## Return on Bond Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Return on Bond.

ROB = (CV-PP) / PP * 100

• Where ROB is the Return on Bond (%)
• CV is the bond purchase price ($) • PP is the current bond value ($)

## How to Calculate Return on Bond?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Return on Bond.

Example Problem #1:

1. First, determine the bond purchase price ($). • The bond purchase price ($) is given as: 1500.
2. Next, determine the current bond value ($). • The current bond value ($) is provided as: 2500.
3. Finally, calculate the Return on Bond using the equation above:

ROB = (CV-PP) / PP * 100

The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:

ROB = (2500-1500) / 1500 * 100 = 66.66 (%)

Example Problem #2:

For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:

bond purchase price ($) = 700 current bond value ($) = 900

This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer.

ROB = (CV-PP) / PP * 100 = ?
