Bond Duration Calculator

Duration helps you understand how sensitive your bond investment is to interest rate changes. Bonds with longer durations are more sensitive to rate changes, while shorter duration bonds are more stable.

If you expect interest rates to rise, consider bonds with shorter durations. If you expect rates to fall, longer duration bonds may offer better price appreciation potential.

Use duration to match your investment timeline. If you need money in 3 years, bonds with a duration close to 3 years can help minimize interest rate risk and ensure your principal is available when needed.
