Yield to maturity is the rate of return the investor will get if he/she hold the bold till maturity period

So YTM is like internal rate of return, if we discount all the cash inflow from the bond using YTM, the present value will be equal to the bond current price.

YTM is calculated using Excel, the function used is (IRR)
