Pricing Formula

Treasury Notes are quoted and traded on a yield to maturity basis rather than on a price basis. This means that the price is calculated by inputting the yield into the pricing formula.

The price per $100 face value is calculated using the following pricing formula:

$\Large P = \frac{100}{1 + \LARGE\left(\frac{f}{365}\right) i}$

In this formula:

$\large P = $ the price per $100 face value.

$\large f = $ the number of days from the date of settlement to the maturity date.

$ \large i = $ the annual yield to maturity (per cent) divided by 100.

Worked Example

Consider a Treasury Note maturing on 21 February 2020, with settlement on 12 September 2019 and a yield to maturity of 1.00 per cent.

$\Large P = \Large \frac{100}{1 + \LARGE \left(\frac{f}{365}\right) i}$

where:

$ f = 162$, the number of days from 12 September 2019 to 21 February 2020

$ \large i=\Large \frac{1.00}{100}= $ $ 0.01 $

$\Large P = \Large \frac{100}{1 + \LARGE\left( \frac{f}{365}\right) i} = \frac{100}{1 + \LARGE\left( \frac{162}{365}\right) \times 0.01} $

$\Large P = 99.558125580$
