FA-60890 / Bond day-count conventions / Member archive

ICMA regular-period accrued with ex-coupon: the accrual denominator is a nominal fraction of 365 days · case 05

Accrued interest drifts from the ICMA value for periods that are not exactly 365/freq days.

Case contract

Inputs prev, nxt, settle ([y,m,d]), annual rate, frequency and ex-coupon days. Settlement outside [prev, nxt] returns "settlement outside period"; settlement on nxt returns 0.0. If the settlement is within ex-coupon days of nxt (days to nxt <= exdays), accrued is negative: -coupon*days(settle,nxt)/days(prev,nxt). Otherwise accrued = coupon*days(prev,settle)/days(prev,nxt). coupon=100*rate/freq; round the final value to 6 decimals.

Why this case matters

Bond accrual and pricing systems depend on exact day-count arithmetic; a single-day error changes settlement cash.
