Overview: This calculator compares two bond investments buying a bond at a substantial discount to par value and receiving no coupon (a zero-coupon bond), and buying a bond with a coupon. User can select a Treasury security, corporate bond or municipal bond. Treasury securities are exempt from state income taxes. Municipal bonds are exempt from federal income taxes. In some cases, muni bonds are also exempt from state income taxes. With a zero-coupon bond, you must report imputed interest as income. As a result, the after-tax rate of return on a zero-coupon bond may be lower.
