A bond's price moves opposite to yields, and duration measures how much. Modified duration approximates the percent price drop for a 1% rise in yield — longer maturities and lower coupons mean higher duration and bigger swings. Educational tool, not financial advice.

▶ Run in Python

Data Inspector

Bond price$1000.00

Macaulay duration8.11 yr

Modified duration7.72

≈ price change / +1% yield-7.72%

Governing equation

D_{m o d} = \frac{D _{ma c}}{1 + y} = \frac{8.11}{1 + 0.05} = 7.72

Reading this result: Coupon equals yield, so the bond prices right at par — yet its 7.7-year modified duration still exposes it to rate swings.
