Original text

Section 4.8. Calculation Amount. “Calculation Amount” means, in respect of a Swap Transaction and a party, the applicable Notional Amount or Currency Amount, as the case may be.

Comparisons

The 2006 ISDA Definitions treat each of the three definitions (Calculation Amount, Notional Amount and Currency Amount) as discrete things — albeit in successive paragraphs — while the 2021 ISDA Interest Rate Derivatives Definitions see them for what they are — subspecies of Calculation Amount — and roll them into a single paragraph.

Basics

Just imagine being the poor Aïessdiyé padawan tasked with redrafting a perfectly harmless — if faintly pointless — piece of orienting. Perhaps she felt honour-bound to convert it into a tract of overdetermined dreck. We will never know.

All it really achieves is, well, there’s this thing, and it might be a Notional Amount and it might be a Currency Amount, but either way, it’s a Calculation Amount. We think the 2006 version was nicer.
