hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of WallStreetmojo watch the video
[16]
till the end and also if you are new to this channel and you can subscribe us by
[20]
clicking the bell icon Friends today we have going to learn a concept that is known as the tax
[25]
equivalent yield formula now when we talk about the tax equivalent yield
[29]
formula we have a formula that's right in front of us the tax free yield that
[33]
the percentage upon 1 minus the tax rate minus 1 okay you mustn't be getting it
[39]
what exactly things are going on so let's understand this formula first now
[43]
the first question that may arise that why should you use this formula that's
[48]
the first question and the answer to this formula will help you to compare
[51]
the yield between tax-free all right for you a tax-free investment and the tax
[59]
investment right so here's the tax equivalent formula the tax equivalent
[67]
formula is something like this which is equal to your tax-free yield divided by
[75]
1 minus your tax rate right the example of the tax rate formula let's let's
[83]
discuss this and understand how exactly we will go about let's say there's this
[88]
this lady called Miss Olivia and she is new in the investment world she wants to
[94]
find out whether she should go for taxed investment or non-taxed investments
[100]
worth basically known as your tax-free investments so she founds she finds out
[104]
that the taxed investments pay out the yield in the neighborhood of 12%
[109]
on an average and on the other hand there are other investments which is
[113]
known as your tax-free investment which pays only 8% on an average and the tax
[120]
rate is standing at let's say 35% so you need to guide Miss Olivia by
[127]
choosing which investments would be or which investors would be more beneficial
[131]
for her so by using this formula we can absolutely find the tax equivalent yield
[137]
for this company so your tax equivalent yield is going to be your tax yield
[143]
divided by 1 minus your tax rate right so your
[150]
tax yield is going to be your tax-free interest rate right or your tax yield so
[156]
you have written the wrong formula it's it's the tax-free yield not the tax
[160]
yield tax-free yield divided by 1 minus tax rate so we here will we'll put
[166]
8% over here and will deduct 1 minus the tax rate which is 0.35
[171]
okay yeah we'll close the bracket so 0.65 all right so let's just divide
[178]
instead of 8% will just write 0.08 divided by 0.65 so will will have
[185]
the answer as 0.08 divided by 0.65 we have 12.3% right so from the about tax
[193]
equivalent yield calculation we are clear that miss olivia is certainly it
[197]
needs to invest in the tax-free investments and not the tax investments
[206]
now let's understand the explanation part of the tax equivalent yield formula
[212]
now as you can see in the formula it compares the the the comparison between
[219]
the tax-free yield and the tax and there are two components so let's
[225]
discuss about discuss about the first component which is the tax-free yield
[232]
now to find out the tax field all you need to do is to look around at the
[238]
yield of the municipal bonds right so this bonds are generally issued by the
[245]
Treasury or the government and and you don't need to pay any tax for the return
[253]
that you earn on your investments right now there's another thing called the
[258]
second component which we have in our formula as the 1 minus the tax rate so
[266]
1 minus tax rate basically helps you to find out the yield it is being taxed
[273]
yielding it has been taxed now this read this is
[279]
reason we use this in the denominator and to find out how beneficial it is to
[285]
invest in the tax instruments so by using this formula you would understand
[290]
actually how much yield you would earn if you need to pay taxes I mean if you
[297]
need to pay taxes on your tax reinvestment and that will keep up the
[300]
yield at the similar level of both of the investment and the tax level so
[305]
you'd be able to find out whether the tax investment where the D tax
[309]
investment is basically good or not so that's what we are supposed to find now
[316]
what exactly is the use of the tax heal equivalent formula
[320]
so basically investor should use this formula to find out whether it is
[325]
prudent you can say to be higher taxes and for investing in the tax investments
[332]
so let's understand this by using a simple example let's say there's a guy
[336]
called mr. Ramesh has decided to look at both the taxed investments and the
[344]
tax-free investments the idea is to reduce the tax payment as much as he can
[349]
he finds out the tax investment offered a rate or the yield of 9% and a
[356]
tax free investment offered him a yield of 6% and let's say the tax rate
[362]
the tax rate is 40% so to find out he uses the tax eel so by using the
[370]
formula he gets the tax yield something like this the tax yield is going to be
[376]
is equal to your tax free 6% okay divided by the 1 minus the tax rate
[385]
so what is your 1 minus tax 40% so that's sixty percent so if
[391]
you divide 6/60 you get exactly 10% so mr. Ramesh finds
[397]
out that the tax investment isn't a good deal and and he should go for basically
[404]
the tax free investment now let's understand this with the help of a
[411]
calculator put some numbers now let's say your
[414]
tax-free yield is 10% and your tax rate is 40% so all the numbers are over here
[421]
you can see 16.67% is the tax equivalent yield formula so what a
[429]
comparison that we are making the tax-free yield and over here we are
[436]
asking the tax rate so what will happen to the ratio if your tax yield let's say
[444]
goes to 11% and keeping the tax rate as the same it increases so if your
[451]
tax-free yield increases keeping the tax rate are same the ratio increases and
[459]
just see over here instead of 11 if we just take 9 the tax hill increases so as
[466]
the tax-free yield decreases keeping the tax rate is same your ratio basically
[473]
decreases I'm sorry yeah so the ratio basically decreases that's 15% so this
[481]
is the relation between the tax-free yield and the ratio and the tax rate so
[487]
you can put down your own numbers keep changing some numbers and try punching
[491]
it and come out with some really good conclusions so that's it for this
