A plot of yields on bonds of the same credit quality across different maturities.

Yield to Call
Bonds & Fixed Income
%
The return on a bond assuming the issuer redeems it at the earliest call date rather than at maturity.
Same calculation as yield to maturity, using the call date and call price in place of the maturity date and face value
Yield to Maturity
Bonds & Fixed Income

The total annualised return from holding a bond to maturity, accounting for coupons, the purchase price and the redemption amount.
Approximate YTM = [Annual Coupon + (Face Value - Price) / Years to Maturity] / [(Face Value + Price) / 2]
