Yield Curve Slope (2s10s) Calculator
Curve slope between any two tenors — the 2s10s recession gauge with inversion verdict and historical context.
Formula
An inverted curve means markets expect rate cuts ahead — historically a recession signal with a 12–24 month lead, though the post-2022 inversion showed unusually long lag. Banks' lend-long/borrow-short model also compresses when slope vanishes, tightening credit.

Frequently asked questions
What is the formula behind the Yield Curve Slope Calculator?+
Yield Curve Slope Calculator uses slope = y_long − y_short. An inverted curve means markets expect rate cuts ahead — historically a recession signal with a 12–24 month lead, though the post-2022 inversion showed unusually long lag. The tool substitutes your actual inputs into this relationship and shows the worked example step by step.
What inputs does the Yield Curve Slope Calculator need?+
Enter Short tenor yield (e.g. 2y) (%), Long tenor yield (e.g. 10y) (%) and the result updates immediately — there is no button to press. Change any value to model a different scenario in real time.
Is the Yield Curve Slope Calculator free, and is my data private?+
Yes — it is completely free with no sign-up or usage limit, and it runs entirely in your browser, so the numbers you enter are never uploaded or stored on any server. It is for informational and analytical use, not financial advice.
What should I watch out for when using the Yield Curve Slope Calculator?+
Banks' lend-long/borrow-short model also compresses when slope vanishes, tightening credit.
What is the Yield Curve Slope Calculator based on?+
The method follows authoritative sources: FRED — T10Y2Y series; Estrella & Mishkin (1996). The formula and references are shown on the page so you can verify and cite the result.
