  • $\begingroup$ One cannot properly compute call option value (and hence correctly estimate yield) without some kind of calibrated stochastic model of interest rates. If you want a simple one, QuantLib provides Black-Karasinski. I have no idea if the implementation is any good. $\endgroup$

You get yield to maturity (YTM) - the yield assuming the calls are not exercised even if they are in the money.

According to the master himself http://quantlib.10058.n7.nabble.com/Yield-to-call-for-callable-bonds-td17004.html

there's no straighforward way. One workaround would be to instantiate a second bond with maturity equal to the callability date of the first, and calculate the yield on that one.

There does not seem to be a straighforward way to have yields that e.g. Bloomberg Terminal YA screen provides - yield to worst, yield to next call, etc.
