Should you sell?
A broker's pricing sheet tells you what the transaction is. It does not tell you whether to do it. Type the figures from your quote and we will check them, and show what you would be giving up by selling early.
Why you type the price in, rather than reading it here
We hold no secondary-market prices and publish none. That is a deliberate limit, not a gap waiting to be filled: the Exchange's data is proprietary and its terms forbid using it to build a product, so this app does not carry it in any form. The price on your broker's sheet or DhowCSD quote is the real one, and it is the one this page works from.
What we can do is check it. A quote has parts — clean price, accrued interest, settlement — and the arithmetic between them either holds or does not.
What selling early actually costs
A bond bought to hold has a return you already know. Selling replaces that known stream with cash now, and the difference is not the gain or loss on the price alone: it is the coupons you no longer receive, less what you can earn on the proceeds instead. A quote that looks like a profit against what you paid can still leave you worse off than holding, and that comparison is what this page puts in front of you.
Tax follows the bond, not the sale
Withholding on coupon interest depends on the bond: nothing on infrastructure bonds, 10% at an original tenor of ten years or more, 15% below. Selling does not change the treatment of interest you have already received.
What this page cannot tell you
Whether the quote you were given is a good one against the wider market. That needs traded prices across dealers, which we do not have and will not publish. This checks the arithmetic of the quote in front of you and shows what you give up by taking it — a narrower question, answered honestly. See where every figure comes from.
