<They pay 3.5% plus the CPI> > So the implied rate of inflation used by the government right now for the 6month period is around 4%. CORRECTION: (yes, I make mistakes and admit them) The fixed rate component is 3.6% not 3.5% "The earnings rate for I Bonds is a combination of a fixed rate, which will apply for the life of the bond, and the inflation rate. The 7.49 percent earnings rate for I Bonds bought from May through October 2000 will apply for the first six months after their issue. The earnings rate combines the 3.60 percent fixed rate of return with the 3.82 percent annualized rate of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)."
