When to use it

The price per 100 face value of a Treasury bill given its discount rate.

The shape of it

Syntax
=TBILLPRICE(settlement, maturity, discount)

Worked examples

  • From a discount rate

    =TBILLPRICE(DATE(2008,3,31),DATE(2008,6,1),0.09) 98.45

    A 62-day bill at a 9% discount.

  • 91-day bill

    =TBILLPRICE(DATE(2025,1,1),DATE(2025,4,2),0.05) 98.74

    A 91-day bill at 5%.

  • Six-month bill

    =TBILLPRICE(DATE(2025,1,1),DATE(2025,7,1),0.05) 97.49

    A 181-day bill.

Worth knowing

  • Price = 100 × (1 - discount × days/360).
  • TBILLYIELD reverses it.
  • Actual days over 360, always.

Where it goes wrong

  • #NUM! when maturity is more than a year out.
  • Text dates return #VALUE!.
