United States EE Savings Bonds can be purchased at half their face value at U.S. financial institutions, or for full price online. The bonds take several years to mature, and then they accumulate interest at a rate determined at purchase. Because the purchase price and interest rates can vary, and the age of the bond can affect its value, the best method for calculating the value of bonds is to use an online calculator.
