How To Determine If You're Better Off With A Taxable Or Tax-Free Bond Fund?
When choosing a bond fund for your investment portfolio, there are two very broad categories to choose from - taxable bond funds that hold mostly corporate and government securities and tax-free bond funds that hold mostly municipal bonds. The average investor might be enticed by the tax-free bond fund mainly because of the words "tax-free". Who wants to pay taxes to the government if they don't have to, right? But there are definitely cases when they will not make sense. The best way to determine if a tax-free bond fund makes sense is to calculate it's taxable equivalent yield. (This is assuming that a taxable and tax-free bond fund are substantially the same investment. In reality, there are credit quality and other issues that need to be judged in addition to the yield offered before making a final investment decision.) In order to calculate the taxable equivalent yield, you'll need the tax-free yield and your current tax bracket (which can be found from your tax return, the IRS or any number of financial websites). Take the tax-free yield and divided it by one minus your tax bracket. For example, if you're in the 31% tax bracket and you can obtain a 4% tax-free yield, the taxable equivalent yield will be 5.8% (4 divided by .69). In other words, you would need to obtain a taxable yield of at least 5.8% in order to "outyield" the tax-free investment. This is why municipal bond and other tax-free funds are considered to be better suited for those in higher tax brackets. A muni fund allows a high income investor to avoid a greater level of taxes than a low income investor. It's a simple calculation but it can go a long way to point you towards the right investment.
