FGN bond return calculator. Honest about the premium.
A 22.60% coupon is not a 22.60% return when you pay above par. Enter the coupon, clean price, maturity and nominal; get the yield to maturity, every semi-annual cashflow on its real date, the accrued interest you settle on top, and the pull-to-par capital you give back (or collect) at redemption. Presets carry the 22 June 2026 DMO auction instruments.

Assumptions, stated plainly
- Premium bond: you pay 101.00 per ₦100 but redeem at 100.00 — the pull-to-par loss of ₦500010.00 is real capital you give back at maturity. The coupon of 22.60% overstates your true return; the YTM already nets this out.
- YTM assumes every coupon is reinvested at the YTM itself until maturity. The simple annualised figure assumes NO reinvestment. Your realised return will land between them depending on where you park the coupons.
- Day count: Actual/Actual (ICMA), semi-annual — the convention FGN bond prospectuses specify.
- All figures are GROSS — before broker commission, CSCS/settlement charges, and any taxes that apply to your investor class. FGN bond coupons are CITA/PITA-exempt for most investors per the DMO offer circulars, but execution fees vary by broker and are not modelled here.
