About This Template
Measure your bond portfolio's interest rate risk with this professional DV01 Excel template. DV01 (Dollar Value of 01), also known as PVBP (Price Value of a Basis Point), quantifies the dollar change in bond price for every 1 basis point move in yields. This is the core metric fixed income traders use for position sizing, hedging, and risk management.
What You Can Calculate
This template computes all standard DV01 metrics from just four inputs:
- DV01 per $100 face - Academic standard for comparing bonds
- DV01 per $1MM face - Institutional trading convention
- Position DV01 - Total dollar risk for your specific position
- Dollar Duration - Price change per 1% yield move
- 8-point sensitivity table - P/L estimates from -100bp to +100bp rate shocks
Required Inputs
- Modified Duration - Get this from Bloomberg, your bond calculator, or broker reports
- Bond Price - Current price as percentage of par (e.g., 98.50 for a discount bond)
- Face Value - Par value per bond (typically $1,000 for corporate bonds)
- Position Size - Number of bonds you own
Methodology
DV01 = Modified Duration x Price / 10,000. This linear approximation works best for small rate moves and option-free bonds. For callable/putable bonds, use effective duration instead.
Assumptions & Limitations
- Duration-only approximation (no convexity adjustment)
- Best for option-free fixed-rate bonds
- Rate impacts become less accurate for large moves (50bp+)
- Assumes parallel yield curve shifts
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The template is designed for single-bond analysis, but you can duplicate the Calculator sheet for each bond. Sum the Position DV01 values to get total portfolio DV01.
Absolutely. The sensitivity table shows standard shocks (-100bp to +100bp), but you can add rows with any basis point value using the same formula pattern.
The template accepts manual inputs for Modified Duration and Price. Paste updated values from Bloomberg or other data sources and formulas recalculate automatically.
