Suppose you have a bond with a settlement date of January 15, 2022, and a maturity date of June 30, 2023. The bond pays interest semi-annually. To determine the next coupon date, use the COUPNCD function as follows:
=COUPNCD("01/15/2022", "06/30/2023", 2, 0)
This formula returns the next coupon payment date for the specified bond.
Consider a note with a settlement date of September 1, 2021, and a maturity date of March 15, 2024. The note pays interest quarterly. To calculate the next coupon date using the actual/actual day-count basis, use the COUPNCD function like this:
=COUPNCD("09/01/2021", "03/15/2024", 4, 1)
This formula provides the next coupon payment date for the specified note.
