Free alternatives to Yieldgimp now it's gone subscription only?

InvesterJones

Any recommendations for free to use sites to easily compare gilt yield to maturity prices and view historical data?

I used to use the excellent Yieldgimp but now they're (predictably) charging - if I'm going to pay then I might as well go for something more useful like Pensioncraft and get other things while I'm at it, but I'd prefer something free.

So far I've found:

https://giltsyield.com/tax/

and LateGenXer's awesome streamlit apps which are great for building a giltladder (and steamlit is just cool, fullstop )

I use this:

Why do they think people will pay £2.99/month for some basic data? It's nicely formatted but nothing much more than that. For £5/year I might have subscribed, partly out of goodwill for the people who set it up, but at these prices they seem a little delusional.

I just tried to refresh that and yeah, I was a bit surprised. Even as a free app, whilst useful, it had shortcomings, so as a paid app I'd expect more. 

Will have to look elsewhere as above. Before finding it I just did my own xls and took prices from my broker. Handily, I kept a version of the xls somewhere, which I cross referenced to Yield Gimp to see if the figures tallied. 

Was convenient thou!

Yieldgimp was a nice free resource to get prices during the day.

But all the resulting information such as real and net yields and price change for 0.1% change in yields are easily calculated from those prices using the yield and price functions in excel. And those clean prices can be obtained from a number of places.

For example a screenprint of a simplified version of my own spreadsheet for index linked gilts looks like this

I've selected cell N8 when doing the screen print so you can see the formula for net yield in the formula bar at the top.

In practice my real spreadsheet works out everything from first principles including the yields, indexation and accrued interest just from the clean prices from any source. But that's much further than most people would want to go.
