How much is a savings bond worth after full maturity?
The value of a savings bond at full maturity depends on the type of bond and the interest rates at the time of purchase. For example, Series I and Series EE savings bonds earn interest for 30 years, and their final value can be calculated based on the initial purchase amount and the interest accrued over that period. Generally, Series EE bonds are guaranteed to double in value if held for 20 years, whereas Series I bonds are tied to inflation rates. To find the exact worth of a specific bond at maturity, you can use the U.S. Treasury's online savings bond calculator.
What is a series EE 1989 100 savings bond worth?
The value of a Series EE savings bond from 1989 depends on its original purchase price and the interest it has accrued over time. Series EE bonds issued in 1989 were sold for half of their face value, so a $100 bond would have been purchased for $50. As of the current date, you can check the bond’s value, including interest, using the U.S. Department of the Treasury's savings bond calculator or by contacting them directly, as these bonds earn interest for up to 30 years.
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.
