Pretty sure that depends on the interest rate at the time you purchase the EE series bonds. You can look up the value of EE bonds on the internet. You need the bond numbers and it will tell you when it was purchased and the current value and the percentage you are earning.

The "book yield" is a measure of a bond's recurring realized investment income that combines both the bond's coupon return plus its amortization. It is defined as the bond's Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of all its cash flows. The following example illustrates the concept of book yield. A $100 par bond having a 5% coupon to be paid annually at year end is purchased for a $95 purchase price at the beginning of the year. The bond is set to mature in three years. In this example, the book yield will be greater than the 5% coupon on the discount bond as the investor will receive both the 5% coupon and the difference between purchase price and maturity value (an additional $5). The book yield at purchase will be 6.90%, which is the internal rate of return or IRR of the cash flows. The $5 discount is amortized into income over the life of the bond and the book value of the bond is increased until it reaches its par value of $100 at maturity.
The Bond price is the amount of the bond when it becomes mature. The coupon rate is the amount of interest payable on the bond.Bonds have three major componentsThe first is the face value (also called par value). This is the value of the bond as given on the certificate or instrument. This is the value the bond holder will receive at maturity unless the issuer defaults. If bonds are retired before maturity, bond holders may receive a slight premium over face value. Investors pay par when they buy the bond at its original face value. The price investors pay may be more or less than the face value.Bonds also have a coupon rate. This is the annual rate of interest payable on the bond. For the owner of a bond, the higher the coupon rate, the higher the interest payments the owner receives. The rate is set at the time the bond is issued and generally does not change. Most bonds make interest payments semiannually, although some bonds are offered with monthly and quarterly payments.Did you know?Until 1983, all bond owners received an actual paper bond certificate.This inspired bond terminology. The loan amount appeared prominently on the face of the bond. Bonds included coupons that the owner detached, onePrice and interest rate on a bond are inversely related, if the bond price is low, rate will be high, if the bond price is high, interest rate will be lower.
how long does it take for a series 11 boud to mature?
The value of a Series E 1943 War bond today would depend on several factors, including its denomination, interest rate, and whether it has matured. Generally, Series E War bonds had a face value of $25, $50, $100, or $1,000. They were designed to mature after 10 years but could continue earning interest for up to 40 years.
A $25 E series savings bond bought in January of 1976 is worth 134.76. Yours may be worth a few cents more or less depending on the month purchased. E series bonds mature at 30 years so it will not gain any more value.
About 17 to 20 years, depending on what series it is. The years I've listed above are for series EE.

A bond will always (unless if fails due to credit or is restructured) always mature at a 'par' value. In professional markets this is considered as 100.
