A bond's par value, also known as its face value, is generally repaid at maturity, which is the predetermined date specified in the bond agreement. At this time, the issuer pays the bondholder the full par value, along with any final interest payments. Maturity periods can vary, typically ranging from a few months to several decades, depending on the bond's terms.
Par Value
A bond is a type of a debt security, the approved issuer owes the holders a debt. The repayment period is often an agreement between the issuer and the holder.
A bond selling at face value is referred to as a "par bond." This means the bond is being sold for its nominal or par value, which is the amount that will be repaid to the bondholder at maturity. When a bond is at par, its market price equals its face value, indicating that the interest rate, or coupon rate, is in line with current market rates.
The principal amount of a bond that is repaid at the end of the term is called the "face value" or "par value." This is the amount that the bond issuer agrees to pay the bondholder upon maturity. It is also the basis for calculating interest payments, which are typically expressed as a percentage of the face value.
The term you are referring to is "maturity." At maturity, the issuer of the bond is obligated to repay the face value, also known as the par value, to the bondholder. This is the amount that investors initially pay for the bond and is distinct from its market value, which can fluctuate over time.

The bond's principal refers to the initial amount borrowed by the issuer and repaid at maturity, while the bond's par value is the face value of the bond that is used to calculate interest payments. In most cases, the principal and par value are the same, but they can differ if the bond is issued at a discount or a premium.

All bonds have a stated or "par" value, which is the value that the bond will hold after the bond term is completed at maturity (par value is usually $1000 per bond). When a bond is issued at a discount, it means that a company issued the bond for less than the par value (i.e less than $1000). The original discount is calculated as the difference between the par value and the bond sale price, and it is amortized over the life of the bond.
The three main components of a bond are the face value, coupon rate, and maturity date. The face value, or par value, is the amount the bondholder receives at maturity. The coupon rate is the interest rate paid by the issuer to the bondholder, typically expressed as a percentage of the face value. The maturity date is when the bond's principal is repaid, marking the end of the bond's term.
true
To calculate the face value of a bond, you multiply the bond's par value by its face value percentage. The face value percentage is typically stated as a percentage of the par value, such as 100 or 105. This calculation will give you the amount that the bondholder will receive at maturity.
The current price of a municipal bond with a coupon rate of 6.75 that is trading at par value is 1,000.
