Bogleheads® forum discussion: Re: Ibond calculator
… an Excel spreadsheet that uses a macro to compute the values of each I Bond in a portfolio. It differs from the Savings Bond Calculator and Savings Bond Wizard in a couple of ways:
- Computes the values for twelve months at a time instead of only one.
- Works with any denomination; not just the ones that paper bonds were issued in.
Here is a sample screen shot:
The values agree with one row from my web pages that show the entire history of an I Bond. For example, the 12 values for the first bond listed above correspond to the year 2012 in $25 I Bond with 3.40% Fixed Rate Purchased September 1998.Click the following link to open or download the Excel file: IBondPortfolioCalculator.XLS
Edit 8/10/12: … a couple of enhancements:
- Added an option to compute the Gain instead of the Value
- For each purchase added an Excel hyperlink to the value history page on my web site, http://eyebonds.info/ibon
