Savings Bond campaign set to begin in May
By Lt. Shane McIntosh
Financial security is a goal for which we all strive. Whether sav-
ing for retirement, a home, or a child’s education, U.S. Savings
Bonds are a great way to achieve your desires.
Buying U.S. Savings Bonds is
an affordable and easy way to
start saving, and can remain an
important part of your financial
planning throughout your career.
Savings bonds are backed by
the full faith and credit of the
United States and can be replaced
free if lost, stolen, or destroyed.
Savings bonds earn short-term
rates for the first five years they
are held. This rate is adjusted
semi-annually, May 1 and Nov. 1,
and is currently 4.6 percent.
Bonds are guaranteed to reach original maturity, or face value, at
17 years. However, this is a minimum; bonds with an average inter-
est rate of 4.9 percent would reach maturity at 14.7 years.
Bonds can be held for, and collect interest at, the long-term rate
until 30 years from the date of issue, called the final maturity.
Interest earned is exempt from all state and local income taxes.
Federal income tax reporting can be deferred until redemption or
final maturity (30 years), whichever comes first.
Bonds can also be completely tax free if used to pay for college
tuition and fees.
Purchasing U.S. Savings Bonds boosts our personal savings rate,
which is needed to fuel future economic growth and it helps reduce
the cost of financing our public debt.
For every $ 1 billion invested in
Savings Bonds, the government
saves $70 million in debt financ-
ing.
Savings bonds come in payroll
plans that fit every budget. The
plans start at just $5 a month
($2.50 a paycheck).
The purchase price of a bond is
half its face value, and denomi-
nations run from $100 to $1,000.
Bonds begin to draw interest on
the first day of the month that the
last payment is made.
May 1 - 31 is the annual NAS Keflavik U.S. Savings Bond
Campaign.
If you have any questions, contact your command representative or
finance office for more information and assistance in starting your
payroll allotment.
Look for Savings Bond representatives in Lava Java at the Viking
Mall on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1-2 p.m., starting May 1.
