Coupon

In fixed-income securities, a coupon is the periodic interest payment made by the issuer to the bondholder. It is calculated as the bond's par value times the coupon rate and is typically paid on a set schedule.

Example: A corporate bond with a $1,000 par value and a 6% coupon pays $60 annually, typically as $30 every six months, until maturity.
