Interest rates

Slide an example rate. A toy perpetuity bond (price ≈ coupon ÷ rate) moves the other way. A $10,000 loan’s annual interest moves with the rate.

Takeaway: When rates rise, existing bond prices fall and new borrowing costs more — toy math, real idea.

This is educational, not advice. Example rates and taxes are illustrations. Real accounts, markets, and tax rules can look different — sometimes a lot. No number on this page is a recommendation.
