Welcome to the Savings Bond Calculator.
This video will show you how to use the calculator
to determine the value of your Paper Savings Bonds,
for any specific month,
from January 1996 to four months into the future.
To determine the value of Electronic Bonds,
you will need to log in to your TreasuryDirect account.
A couple of things to note:
The calculator is just a tool that tells the value of a bond based on the Series, Denomination, and Issue Date entered.
The calculator does not validate the issuance of a bond,
meaning, if you input a Bond Serial Number, with the Series, Denomination, and Issue Date,
It will give you only the value. This does not mean the Bond is valid or outstanding.
When you first access the calculator,
the "Value as of" date will be populated with the current month and year.
In this case, July of 2021.
Using the Drop Down boxes, you will need to select the Series and Denominations of your Bond.
You will also need to enter the Issue Date that is printed on the Bond,
using a Two-Digit Month, such as 01 for January,
or 12 for December, and a Four-Digit Year.
As you can see on this Bond diagram,
you can find the denomination in the upper left corner,
the Series in the upper right corner, and the Issue Date beneath the Series.
For our example, I'll use a Series EE Bond, with a $50 Denomination,
and an Issue Date of January 1995.
Then click Calculate.
The Price, Value, and Interest of the Bond will display, as well as the Year to Date interest.
You can calculate additional Bonds, such as an I Bond,
with a $100 Denomination, and an Issue Date of May, 2001.
Then click Calculate.
As you can see, the individual Values of the Bonds,
as well as the Total Value of both Bonds are displayed.
You can also remove a Bond, if you no longer want it, and it will be removed from the totals.
If you would like to see what the Bonds would be worth on a past or future date,
simply change the Value as of date.
Such as, December 2015 and click Update
The Calculator will display both the Individual Values and Total Values of the Bonds for the date you enter.
And that's how you can calculate the value of your Bonds using the Savings Bond Calculator.
