Meaning, then the identity

TEY means the result of the identity on the TEY calculator. yexy_{ex} is the tax-exempt yield and tt is the marginal tax rate, both as decimals. The identity is just 'undo the tax': a taxable yield, after tax, should equal the exempt yield.

Not a recommendation

A meaning is not a plan. Educational material, not financial advice. The what-is page is the companion wording.
