How much does a 50 savings bond cost?

A $50 savings bond typically costs less than its face value, as it is sold at a discount. For example, a Series I savings bond may cost around $25, while a Series EE bond may also be purchased for $25, reflecting its value when redeemed after a specified period. The actual purchase price can vary based on the bond's series and interest rates. Always check the U.S. Treasury's website for the most current pricing and details.
