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.
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 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.

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 purchase price of a bond is called the "face value" or "par value" of the bond. This is the amount that the bond issuer agrees to repay the bondholder at maturity.
The three main characteristics of bonds are their face value (par value), coupon rate (interest rate), and maturity date (when the bond will be repaid). Bond prices fluctuate based on market interest rates, with higher rates leading to lower bond prices and vice versa. Bonds can be issued by governments, municipalities, or corporations to raise funds.
