What is a Coupon Payment?
A coupon payment is the periodic interest payment made to bondholders during the life of a bond. It is calculated as a percentage of the bond's face value, known as the coupon rate, and is distributed at regular intervals.
How to Calculate a Coupon Payment
The formula for calculating the coupon payment is:
Coupon Payment = (Face Value x Coupon Rate) / Payment Frequency
Example: If a bond has a face value of $1000, a coupon rate of 5%, and pays semi-annually (2 times a year), the coupon payment will be:
($1000 x 5%) / 2 = $25 per payment
