The present invention is a method capable of producing a rare-earth magnet with excellent magnetization and coercivity. The method includes producing a sintered body including a main phase and grain boundary phase and represented by (R1 1-x R2 x ) a TM b B c M d (where R1 represents one or more rare-earth elements including Y, R2 represents a rare-earth element different than R1, TM represents transition metal including at least one of Fe, Ni, or Co, B represents boron, M represents at least one of Ti, Ga, Zn, Si, Al, etc., 0.01 ‰¤ x ‰¤ 1, 12 ‰¤ a ‰¤ 20, b = 100 - a - c - d, 5 ‰¤ c ‰¤ 20, and 0 ‰¤ d ‰¤ 3 (all at%)); applying hot deformation processing to the sintered body to produce a precursor of the magnet; and diffusing/infiltrating melt of a R3-M modifying alloy (rare-earth element where R3 includes R1 and R2) into the grain boundary phase of the precursor.
