The rate of return anticipated on a bond if held until the end of its lifetime. YTM is considered a long-term bond yield expressed as an annual rate. The YTM calculation takes into account the bond's current market price, par value, coupon interest rate and time to maturity. It is also assumed that all coupon payments are reinvested at the same rate as the bond's current yield. YTM is a complex but accurate calculation of a bond's return that helps investors compare bonds with different maturities and coupons.

A par rate is an observable rate on a financial instrument traded in the marketplace and is typically for a bond or a swap that pays periodic fixed coupons - examples would be the yield on the 30-year US Treasury bond or the 5-year swap rate.
The difference between the coupon rate and the required return of a bond is dependent upon the type of bond. Junk bonds will have the biggest difference between its return and the coupon rate.
