EE bonds are a type of U.S. government savings bond that offers a fixed interest rate over a certain period of time, typically 20 years. They are low-risk investments that are backed by the U.S. government and can be purchased at face value.
A Series EE savings bond with a denomination of $100 and purchased in June 1999 would currently be valued at $77.72. Since the issue price is $50 for a $100 denomination savings bond, the purchaser of a bond in 1999 has accumulated $27.72 in interest. The interest rate on EE bonds issued in 1999 is variable and based on the yield of 5-year treasury securities. The current rate for a savings bond purchased in 1999 is only 0.63%. An interesting feature of the E Series savings bonds purchased in 1999 is that the government guarantees that the bond will be worth its face value at 17 years. For the example discussed above, the savings bond purchased for $50 in 1999 would be worth at least $100 in 2016.
The two types of savings bonds are Series EE and Series I. Series EE bonds are purchased at face value and accrue interest over time, while Series I bonds earn interest based on a combination of a fixed rate and an inflation rate.
Upon maturity the Series EE savings bond stops paying interest which brings up an interesting option for holders of matured savings bonds. Since the banks are paying close to zero on savings there is really no financial penalty for holding the Series EE bonds past the maturity date. In addition, federal tax on the interest earned on the savings bonds are not due until the bonds are actually cashed in which gives the holder the flexibility of shifting income to a particular year. For someone nearing retirement and holding Series EE bonds which have matured it would probably make sense to hold off on cashing in the bonds until retirement when the bond holder would probably have lower income and thus a lower tax rate.
The current interest rates of US Saving Bonds are 0.2 percent for Series EE Bonds. Series I Bonds have interest rate of 1.18 percent. Series HH Bonds have interest rate of 1.5 percent.
