Start hereIf you hold I bonds for five years or longer you will get the full interest when you redeem them. As of August 1, 2024, there are 251 I bonds that are older than five years. These are the I bonds purchased from September 1998 through July 2019, the five year mark as of August 2024. Of these 251 I bonds, 199 will provide a real return if you redeem them in August. In other words, 199 of these I bonds had grown in their values to exceed their inflation-adjusted purchase prices and the remaining 52 are lagging behind inflation. The I bond purchased in May 2000 has the highest return (141.53%), while your February 2015 purchase has the lowest return (-2.44%).
For I bonds purchased each month starting from September 1998 through July 2019, the chart below shows how much the bonds had grown in values compared to the growth in inflation for the same period. The variance shown in the graph is the difference between the bond value and the inflation-adjusted purchase price on 8/1/2024 as a percentage of the inflation-adjusted purchase price. So it is the cumulative real growth from the purchase date through 8/1/2024 (not annual growth). As an example, as on 8/1/2024, a $10,000 I bond purchased in September 1998 had grown 139.48% over its inflation-adjusted purchase price.

Out of them, 193 had grown in their values to exceed their respective purchase prices adjusted for inflation, and only three were below those levels. On the other hand, in August 2024, 199 out of a total of 251 I bonds (79%) older than five years were above and 52 were below their inflation-adjusted purchase prices.
