Ok, so I'm new to buying bonds on Schwab. Why is this "Estimated Total Cost" over par? If I execute this trade, I'm expecting my total cost to end up being around $91,359 give or take rather than $100,915. Is it just some funky calc for accrued interest I shouldn't care about? How do they come up with $100,915?
My understanding is that:
- Schwab doesn't charge a fee for this online transaction without assistance
- There should be no commission (I bought some agency bonds w/o commission or fee similarly a little while back)
- They expect the price to end up being 91.359... cents on the dollar
- This is a "reopening" (this treasury is being issued for a 3rd time) so the issue date is back in august even though I wouldn't be buying it until now in October.
Sanity check me please!!!
