(You need not enter the bond’s serial number. But if you’re building an inventory, serial numbers might help you distinguish one bond from another in your list.)</p> <p>To see where the issue date and serial number are found on a bond, see our <a href="#diagram">diagram</a>.</p> <h2 class="h1">Past or Future Value</h2> <p>To find the value of a bond on a past or future date, enter the date in the "Value as of" field; enter the bond’s series, denomination, and issue date; then click "Update." (Past values are available back to January 1996. Future values are available for remaining months in a bond’s current six-month rate period.)</p> <h2 class="h1">Inventory of Bonds</h2> <p>You can create an inventory of paper bonds and check their values over and over in the future without re-entering information:</p> <p class="icon-angle-right-solid-red">To <strong>create</strong> an inventory, enter information about your paper bonds, one bond at a time, into the Calculator.</p> <p class="icon-angle-right-solid-red">To <strong>save</strong> an inventory for future use:</p> <ol> <li>Click the "Save" button in the results section of the Calculator. This creates a new page, your inventory page.</li> <li>Using your browser’s "Save As" function, save the new page as a web page or HTML page.</li> </ol> <p><strong>Note</strong>: The Calculator won’t save an inventory you make with the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser.</p> <p><strong>To use an inventory you created previously</strong>, open the inventory and click whichever one of these buttons you see: "Return to Savings Bond Calculator" or "Update." This automatically updates the values of the bonds in the inventory and enables you to add bonds to the inventory.</p> <p>See our detailed page on <a href="/indiv/help/bc/bc-savings-help/">saving your inventory</a></p> <p>Also, see more detailed instructions for using the <a href="/indiv/help/bc/savings-bond-calc-instructions/">Calculator</a>.</p> <h2 class="h1">Things the Calculator Won’t Do</h2> <p>The Savings Bond Calculator:</p> <p class="icon-angle-right-solid-red">WILL NOT provide accurate results for the value of electronic bonds. <strong>If you hold a bond in electronic form, log in to TreasuryDirect to find the value.</strong></p> <p class="icon-angle-right-solid-red">WILL NOT verify you own bonds.</p> <p class="icon-angle-right-solid-red">WILL NOT guarantee the serial number you enter is valid.</p> <p class="icon-angle-right-solid-red">WILL NOT guarantee a bond is eligible to be cashed.</p> <p class="icon-angle-right-solid-red">WILL NOT create a savings bond based on information you enter.</p> <p class="icon-angle-right-solid-red">WILL NOT save an inventory you make with the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser.</p> <h2 class="h1">Warning: Scam</h2> <p>Beware of internet scams with a picture of this page claiming you can enter your birth certificate number to access bonds owed to you.
