There are several yield measures commonly used by market participants. The current yield or running yield is equal to the bond’s annual coupon divided by the bond’s price, expressed as a percentage. For example, if a bond has a coupon rate of 6%, a par value of $1,000, and a price of $1,010, the current yield is 5.94% ($60 ÷ $1,010). The current yield is a measure of income that is analogous to the dividend yield for a common share.
