Taxable Equivalent Yield
Financial Term
The TEY calculation takes into account the tax rate applicable to the investor*s income level. It is calculated by dividing the yield of a tax-free investment by 1 minus the investor*s tax rate. For example, if a tax-free investment has a yield of 3% and an investor*s tax rate is 20%, the TEY would be 3/(1-0.2) = 3.75%.
The TEY provides a way for investors to compare the yield of tax-free investments to taxable investments on an equal footing. Without the TEY calculation, investors might be misled by the apparent yield on tax-free investments, which appears lower due to their tax-free status.
Overall, the TEY is a crucial measure for investors who are seeking to compare the value of different types of investments and make informed decisions about their portfolio.
