FRA Settlement Value

The value of an FRA can be calculated using the calculator provided. Several conditions have to be met:

The FRA should not be longer than a year. In other words the 'Maturity Date' should not exceed one calendar date year from 'Start Date'.

'Start Date' should be on or after 'Value Date'. Although, the calculator still produce a value,in such a case, it is the value on 'Start Date', instead of 'Value Date'.

'Settlement Amount' is from perspective of a forward lender. When the 'FRA Rate' is higher than the 'Forward Rate', 'Settlement Amount' will be positive indicating that the forward lender is will receive the settlement amount if the value date is the settlement date of the FRA. If the value date is prior the settelement date, the amount is a positive mark-to-market that will hit the P/L
