I-bonds have an annual rate of interest. The best way to find the current rate of interest for an I-bond is to go to the website www.treasurydirect.gov and look up the rate.
The monthly interest rate for fixed rate bonds is the annual interest rate divided by 12.
Fixed rate bonds are a 'security' paying a fixed periodical 'coupon' or interest payment, say 6%. After some defined period, the bond will repay its 'face value' being equivalent of the principal in a loan.
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.
It is, essentially, a tax.
Municipal bonds typically have a fixed interest rate, meaning the interest payments remain constant throughout the life of the bond. However, there are also variable or floating rate municipal bonds, which can have interest rates that fluctuate based on market conditions or a specified index. Generally, fixed-rate municipal bonds are more common and provide predictable income for investors.

Bonds have a predetermined rate of interest called the stated or contract rate, which is established by the board of directors.
The rate of interest offered by Bonds is marginally more than the interest offered by Banks.
Long convexity in bonds refers to the relationship between bond prices and changes in interest rates. In a changing interest rate environment, bonds with long convexity are more sensitive to interest rate movements compared to bonds with short convexity. This means that when interest rates rise, the price of bonds with long convexity will decrease more than bonds with short convexity, and vice versa.
