Explanation: The investment formula calculates the actual cost of purchasing the bond, while the net interest formula calculates the after-tax interest income over the specified periods.
Details: Accurate bond calculations are essential for investment planning, yield analysis, and tax planning. They help investors understand the true cost and potential returns of treasury bond investments in Tanzania.
Tips: Enter weighted average price as provided in bond auction results, face value in Tanzanian Shillings, annual coupon rate as percentage, number of coupon payment periods, and applicable withholding tax rate as decimal (e.g., 0.1 for 10%).
Q1: What is Weighted Average Price (WAP)?
A: WAP is the average price at which treasury bonds are allocated in an auction, weighted by the amount of bonds allocated at each price point.
Q2: Why divide by 2 in the net interest formula?
A: Tanzanian treasury bonds typically pay coupon interest semi-annually, so the annual coupon rate is divided by 2 for each payment period.
Q3: What is the typical tax rate for treasury bonds in Tanzania?
A: Withholding tax rates vary but are typically around 10% for resident individuals. Always check current tax regulations.
Q4: How are coupon periods determined?
A: Coupon periods depend on the bond's tenure and payment frequency. A 2-year bond with semi-annual payments would have 4 periods.
Q5: Can this calculator be used for other types of bonds?
A: This calculator is specifically designed for Tanzanian treasury bonds. Other bond types may have different calculation methods.
