I think it's called a market value.
Bond premiums refer to bonds that are issued at a price above its face value. for example, if the market rate for a bond is 8% and the stated rate on the bond is 9% then it would be a premium bond. Bond discounts refer to bonds that are issued at a price below its face value. For example, if the market rate for a bond is 9% and the stated rate on the bond is 10%, then it would be a discount bond.
There are websites that will allow you to input the bond's CUSIP number and date, and it will tell you the value. Google "bond" "CUSIP" and "value".

One of the key factors that can change the market and fair value of fixed rate notes and bonds is an increase or decrease in market interest rates. Even though a bond has a fixed rate, it's value is dependent on current yields in the market and the value of the bond will move inversely to interest rate changes.
A bond index is a way of measuring the value of a portion of the bond market. It's computed from the prices of selected bonds, usually a weighted average.
If a bond's price is greater than its Face Value, it is said to be "in premium" e.g. if the price is 105 with a FV of only 100. If the market price is below the Face Value, it is said to be "in discount" while should the market price equal the FV, the bond is said to be "at par".
