Listen "May – October 2022 I Bond Rate is 9.62%!"
Episode Synopsis
When you buy a US Series I Savings Bond (I Bond) during May through October 2022 your initial 6-month rate will be 9.62%
Check out our resources below for more in-depth articles and research, but here’s what that 9.62% really means.
You have to hold the bond for at least 12 months
You’ll get 9.62% annualized, but only for 6 months
Your $100 I bond purchase would turn into $104.81 6 months later
You will not know your 6-month renewal rate until November 2022
Although keep coming back to our website, we’ll be tracking it every month and expect to get the inflation numbers from the US Government on October 13th
We know the formula and will publish our prediction for the November I bond inflation on October 13th
All you know when you buy the I Bond is you’ll get 4.81% over the 12-months that you have to hold it.
Although you’ll probably get more, only 2 times out of 49 has the rate been 0.0%
If you cash out the I bond within the first 5 years you will forfeit the prior 3 months of interest as a penalty.
