DURATION(SettlementDate, MaturityDate, Coupon, Yield, Frequency, Basis)

  • Where is the security's settlement date (a date when coupon or a bond is purchased),
  • is the security's maturity date (a date when coupon or a bond expires),
  • is the security's annual coupon rate,
  • is the security's annual yield,
  • is the number of coupon payments per year, and
  • is the type of day count basis to use.

DURATION() gives the Macauley duration of a security for an assumed par value of $100.

Description

DURATION(SettlementDate, MaturityDate, Coupon, Yield, Frequency, Basis)

DURATION() calculates the rate of change of price with respect to yields. It is the weighted average time until cash flows are received.

  • and dates should be entered either in 'date format' or 'dates returned using formulas'. If dates are not valid, Calci displays #N/A error message.
  • If date ≥ date, Calci displays #N/A error message.
  • and values must be greater than or equal to zero.
  • The values for should be 1,2 or 4.

For Annual payment, frequency = 1,

For Semi-annual payment, frequency = 2,

For Quarterly payment, frequency = 4.

  • value is optional. If omitted, Calci assumes it to be 0.

Below table shows the use of values:

Basis Description
0 US (NASD) 30/360
1 Actual/actual
2 Actual/360
3 Actual/365
4 European 30/365
  • If value is other than 0 to 4, Calci displays #N/A error message.

Examples
