*Grossed-up = the gross yield a fully-taxable savings account or bond would need to match this gilt's net yield, at that tax rate. Gilt coupons are taxed as income; the capital gain to par is exempt from CGT. Figures don't include your Personal Savings Allowance, so they're conservative. How we calculate this.
TG28 is the UK Treasury gilt "1 5/8% Treasury Gilt 2028", paying a 1.625% annual coupon and redeeming at par (£100) on 22 October 2028 — about 2.4 years away. At its 8 Jun 2026 closing price of £94.10 the gross redemption yield is 4.137%. Because the coupon is low and the price is well below par, most of the return comes as the tax-free pull to par (a £590 capital gain per £10,000 nominal, exempt from CGT) rather than as taxable coupon income. That makes it unusually efficient for higher- and additional-rate taxpayers: an additional-rate (45%) payer keeps a net yield of 3.38% — to match that after tax, a fully-taxable savings account or bond would need to pay about 6.14% gross.
