Instructions

To use this online calculator to calculate cost of debt kd, you need to type in information about the debt instrument such as it's maturity value, it's market price, the coupon it pays, the rate of return expected by investors and years left in maturity. Assume we have a 8% semi annual $1000 bond currently selling at $1100 with 10 years left to mature.

  • You have to type in 1000 as bond's maturity value
  • Then 1100 is pressed in as the current price of bond
  • You have to key in 8 as the coupon rate
  • Then 10 is typed in for the years till the bond matures
  • Select semi-annual compounding since the bond makes two interest payments per year
  • A click on the CALCULATE button shows the pre-tax cost of debt of 6.62% and an after tax cost of debt of 4.64%
