STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Approximate Macaulay Duration = Approximate Modified Duration*(1+Rate of Interest)
AMYD = AMD*(1+R)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Approximate Macaulay Duration - Approximate Macaulay Duration is a measure of the weighted average time until a bond's cash flows are received.
Approximate Modified Duration - Approximate Modified Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates, reflecting how much the bond's price will change for a 1% change in yield.
Rate of Interest - Rate of Interest is the annual interest payment made by the bond issuer to the bondholder, expressed as a percentage of the bond's face value.

What is Approximate Macaulay Duration ?

Approximate Macaulay Duration is an approximation that is particularly useful for making rough calculations when detailed bond information is not available or when a quick estimate is needed. Approximate Macaulay Duration provides a quick and practical way to estimate the average time it takes for a bond's cash flows to be received, weighted by their present values. This approximation is particularly useful for quick assessments and comparisons between bonds without needing a detailed cash flow analysis. Macaulay Duration is a measure of the weighted average time until a bond's cash flows (both interest payments and the principal repayment) are received. It's expressed in years and is named after Frederick Macaulay, who introduced the concept. The duration takes into account the present value of all cash flows, helping investors understand the sensitivity of a bond's price to changes in interest rates. The concept of Macaulay Duration revolves around the idea of the time-weighted present value of cash flows.

How to Calculate Approximate Macaulay Duration?

Approximate Macaulay Duration calculator uses Approximate Macaulay Duration = Approximate Modified Duration*(1+Rate of Interest) to calculate the Approximate Macaulay Duration, Approximate Macaulay Duration provides a quick estimate of the duration of a bond without the need for detailed cash flow analysis and discounting. Approximate Macaulay Duration is denoted by AMYD symbol.
