TBILLEQ

TBILLEQ: Returns bond-equivalent yield for a US Treasury bill.

Summary

TBILLEQ converts a T-bill discount rate into an annualized bond-equivalent yield so it can be compared with coupon-bearing securities.

Remarks

  • Date inputs are spreadsheet serial dates; maturity must be after settlement.
  • The T-bill must mature within one year of settlement (DSM <= 365).
  • discount is the T-bill discount rate as a decimal (e.g. 0.09 for 9%).
  • For bills with DSM <= 182: yield = 365 * discount / (360 - discount * DSM).
  • For bills with DSM > 182 a quadratic coupon-equivalent formula is used.
  • Returns #NUM! for invalid dates, non-positive discount, or DSM out of range.
