  2. Bonds • In return for the loan, the organization will agree to pay you an annual interest rate and pay back your principal at an agreed future date (the maturity date). • Maturity dates can be 3, to 10 or even 30 years away.

  3. 4 main components of a Bond • Principle – original amount you invest • Interest rate • Risk factor – chance of getting your money back • Time – how long is your money invested

  4. How to Calculate Bond Interest • I = p * r * t • P = price • R = interest rate • T = time
