Thumbs up Answer: convert bond price to decimal including +

Bond Price Conversion Formula

To convert a bond price with a + to a decimal, use the formula:

Formula:
=Whole Number + (Fraction/32
For example, if you have a bond price of 79-10+, you would use the formula:

Formula:
=79 + (10.5/32
This would give you a decimal bond price of 79.328125.

To convert a bond price without a + to a decimal, use the same formula but with a whole number and a fraction that is not a half. For example, if you have a bond price of 103-12, you would use the formula:

Formula:
=103 + (12/32
This would give you a decimal bond price of 103.375.
  1. Use the formula
    Formula:
    =Whole Number + (Fraction/32
    to convert bond prices to decimals.
  2. For bond prices with a +, use the fraction as a decimal and add it to the whole number.
  3. For bond prices without a +, use the fraction as a decimal and add it to the whole number.
