Current EE Bond Rates
The current rate of an EE Bond depends on when the bond was first issued.
Newly Issued EE Bond
A newly issued EE Bond will have the most current
advertised rate and that rate will not change for the life of the bond until maturity.
EE Bonds Issued May 2005 - Present
Bonds issued in this timeframe do not
change rates and will continue to earn interest based on the interest rate set when
the bond was issued. Bonds issued between May and October follow the May rate
while bonds issued between November and April follow the November rate (of the previous
year in the case of January-April).

EE Bonds Issued before May 1995
Bonds purchased in this time earned interest on a graduated scale for 5 years and
then started earning interest at either guaranteed minimum rates or market-based
rates, whichever is higher. The guaranteed minimum rate was set at the time of purchase
while the market rate is based on the 5-year U.S. Treasury securities yields calculated
semiannually. The rate is set at 85% of the average of these yields. Bonds in this
range have begun to mature and therefore may no longer earn interest.
