Expected Credit Loss Calculator (PD × LGD)

Expected loss on a credit exposure from default probability, loss-given-default and exposure — the IFRS 9 / Basel building block.

$—
Expected loss (1-year)
— bp
EL in bp of exposure
— bp
Spread net of EL

Formula

EL = EAD × PD × LGD

Expected loss is priced, unexpected loss is capitalized: a bond paying 240 bp against 127 bp of EL earns ~113 bp for risk and liquidity. IFRS 9 stage-1 provisions and Basel IRB capital both start from exactly this triple product.

References: BCBS — IRB approach; IFRS 9 impairment
