Cash Flow Calculation
Normal Length Coupon Period
C RPID
Dividend per 100 Pounds = ------------ x -----------
2 RPIB
C = Annual Real Coupon Rate
RPID = The RPI that fixes the next dividend payment for the gilt (that is, the RPI scheduled to be published seven months prior to the month of the next coupon payment and relating to the month before that prior month): For example, if the next dividend payment on the gilt occurs in November, the RPI that fixes its value is the RPI for March of that year.
RPIB = The Base RPI for the gilt (that is, The RPI scheduled to be published seven months prior to the month of issue of the gilt and relating to the month before that prior month): For example, if the gilt is issued in November, its base RPI is the RPI for March of that year.

F C RPID
Coupon per 100 Pounds = ----- x ------ x -------
D 2 RPIB
C = Annual Real Coupon Rate
RPID = The RPI that fixes the next dividend payment for the gilt (that is, the RPI scheduled to be published seven months prior to the month of the next coupon payment and relating to the month before that prior month): For example, if the next dividend payment on the gilt occurs in November, the RPI that fixes its value is the RPI for March of that year.
RPIB = The Base RPI for the gilt (that is, the RPI scheduled to be published seven months prior to the month of issue of the gilt and relating to the month before that prior month): For example, if the gilt is issued in November, its base RPI is the RPI for March of that year.
F = the number of days from the issue date to the next (short) coupon date
D = the numbers of day in a full quasi coupon period in which the settlement date occurs
Long Coupon Period
F1 C RPID
Coupon per 100 pounds = (------ + 1) x ----- x ----------
D1 2 RPIB
C = Annual Real Coupon Rate
RPID = The RPI that fixes the next dividend payment for the gilt (that is, the RPI scheduled to be published seven months prior to the month of the next coupon payment and relating to the month before that prior month): For example, if the next dividend payment on the gilt occurs in November, the RPI that fixes its value is the RPI for March of that year.

F1 = the number of days from the issue date to the next quasi coupon date
D1 = the numbers of day in a full quasi coupon period in which the issue date occurs.
Maturity Payment Formula
RPIR
Redemption Payment per 100 Nominal Pound = 100 x -----------
RPIB
RPIR = The RPI that fixes the redemption payment for the gilt (that is, the RPI scheduled to be published seven months prior to the month of the redemption payment and relating to the month before that prior month): For example, if the next dividend payment on the gilt occurs in November, the RPI that fixes its value is the RPI for March of that year.
RPIB = The Base RPI for the gilt (that is, The RPI scheduled to be published seven months prior to the month of issue of the gilt and relating to the month before that prior month): For example, if the gilt is issued in November, its base RPI is the RPI for March of that year.
