Before you use it, please be aware of the following information.
Note: The Calculator won’t save an inventory you make with the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser.
The Savings Bond Calculator gives information on paper savings bonds of Series EE, Series I, and Series E, and on savings notes:
Value today
Value on past dates
Value on future dates through the current six-month interest period
Current and past interest rates
Next accrual date
Maturity date
Total interest earned
Year-to-date interest earned
Current Value
To find the current value of a bond, enter its series, denomination, and issue date, then click "Calculate." (You need not enter the bond’s serial number. But if you’re building an inventory, serial numbers might help you distinguish one bond from another in your list.)
To see where the issue date and serial number are found on a bond, see our diagram.
Past or Future Value
To find the value of a bond on a past or future date, enter the date in the "Value as of" field; enter the bond’s series, denomination, and issue date; then click "Update." (Past values are available back to January 1996. Future values are available for remaining months in a bond’s current six-month rate period.)
Inventory of Bonds
You can create an inventory of paper bonds and check their values over and over in the future without re-entering information:
To create an inventory, enter information about your paper bonds, one bond at a time, into the Calculator.
To save an inventory for future use:
- Click the "Save" button in the results section of the Calculator. This creates a new page, your inventory page.
- Using your browser’s "Save As" function, save the new page as a web page or HTML page.
Note: The Calculator won’t save an inventory you make with the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser.
To use an inventory you created previously, open the inventory and click whichever one of these buttons you see: "Return to Savings Bond Calculator" or "Update." This automatically updates the values of the bonds in the inventory and enables you to add bonds to the inventory.
See our detailed page on saving your inventory
