How do you know the value of bonds?

Answer by  Kit (558)

Depends on the interest stated when it was issued. If you bought a $1000 bond, at 5% interest, for 5 years, you'll earn $10 per year, $50 for 5 years.

You should contact the investment companies that they are held with, and ask for a valuation. They should be able to tell you over the phone.

You can go online and use a savings bonds calclator or take it to a bank to find out. Savings bonds gain intrest over years so the longer you have them the more they are worth. I suggest keeping them for a while and gain as much intrest as possible!!!

You need to calculate the value by using a formula taught in accounting. You basically use compounding method and divide by years.
