finance.debt-zero-coupon Calculator
Calculates zero coupon bond price, yield, and implied discount rate for a personal debt management fixed income instrument. Zero coupon bonds accrue interest annually (taxable as OID income) even though no cash is received — creating a taxable phantom income in tax-deferred accounts is avoided by holding them in IRAs.
