How many years does it take for a series EE 100 bond to mature to full value?

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.


Will a Series EE savings Bond pay interest beyond its maturity date?

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.

Still only about $200. EE bonds would earn only 4 or 5 cents in 6 months. Savings Bonds at one time were good long-term investments. Not so much today. The bond rate from 2011 to 2013 continues to be very low: from 0.20 to 0.30 percent for EE bonds, and a variable I bond rate (inflation adjusted) of less than 2%.
