Breakeven Inflation Rate

Breakeven inflation rate (BEI) is the market-implied average inflation rate over a specified horizon, derived from the spread between nominal Treasury yields and inflation-linked security yields of the same maturity.

Example: If the 10-year nominal Treasury yield is 4.0% and the 10-year TIPS yield is 1.5%, the 10-year breakeven inflation rate is 2.5% per year.
