I am not sure about the exact number, but ballpark amounts seem right, given what I read elsewhere. The difference is that the government runs on Fiscal year, which starts in October, while the site lists YTD, or from January 2009. Most likely averaged month to month as well, since the numbers fluctuate. For the calendar year interest is somewhat less than on that web site, but it will catch up. T-bond coupons pay interest every 6 months, this is why month to month it fluctuates a lot, depending on which month the treasury goes to the market to fund its operations. It has to be paid nevertheless. -g- treasurydirect.gov
