You can easily buy, track the value, and redeem Savings Bonds with a variety of free owner support tools provided by the Treasury Department.

You can keep track of your Savings Bonds in one of several ways.

The Savings Bond Wizard

You can download--free of charge--a program called The Savings Bond Wizard that creates an inventory and calculates your earnings. It also lets you know when they reach final maturity and other important facts. You can save your inventory for future use.

The Savings Bond Calculator

If you don't want to install a program on your computer, you can use the online "Savings Bond Calculator."

It does many of the same tasks as the Wizard without requiring you to download any software. The Calculator also lets you save your Savings Bonds inventory so you can watch its worth over time.

Fun calculators

You can use the Growth Calculator, the Savings Planner, and the Tax Advantages Calculator to get an idea of how to save to meet your goals.

Comprehensive Value Tables

If you want to follow your Savings Bonds in a more traditional way, you can download Comprehensive Value Tables from the Savings Bonds website.

You can also order a simplified table of redemption values, PD 3600, by writing to:

Toll-free number

You can call a toll-free number for automated information on rates, maturity periods, and other important topics. Call:

Redemption support

You will have an easy time redeeming your Savings Bonds because the Treasury Department provides support for the financial institutions that do it.

This means the redemption process takes less of your time and effort.
