About TIPS Yield

An independent reference for understanding Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, estimating ladder costs and working through the practical details of inflation-protected income.

What we publish

TIPS Yield provides a free ladder calculator, worked examples, dated market reference tables and a paid primer with an Excel workbook. The calculator runs in your browser. Its estimates are educational and do not select securities or place orders.

Editorial standards and sources

Reference articles are published under the TIPS Yield organizational byline. They link to TreasuryDirect, the U.S. Treasury, IRS publications and fund sponsors where relevant. The update date records a content review; market tables display their own observation dates. Hypothetical examples state their assumptions separately from observed market data.

Calculator formulas and limitations are on the methodology page. Maturity and auction tables identify the Treasury snapshot date and offer CSV downloads. ETF costs carry sponsor links and review dates. A source link is evidence for the associated statement, not an endorsement of this website by that organization.
