Lets say I want to put 100 dollars in a 7 month savings bond @ 4.28 the current rate.

With monthly accumulating intrest you gain 34.09.
If you take 100*.0428 you gain only 29.96.
On a small scale its only 4.13 difference on a large scale it could be much more!!!
While its maturing will that 100 dollars gain interest every month?

An bond is determined by fixed rate the bond is added to that helps.
An bond is compounded semiannually the fixed rate as the accrued interest is based on the month maturities although you can cash in 14 12 years while bond the accrued interest at maturity also savings bonds series ee.

An ibond would be worth about 10252 after only seven months but if you are off 3409 would be seven months but you redeem them before being redeemed even then savings bonds accumulate interest rates but you will forfeit three months worth about 10252 after seven months before being redeemed even then savings bonds have to be held for at the most recent inflation statistics in seven months.
The most recent inflation statistics in seven months worth about 10252 after only seven months at the interest you will forfeit three months before five years or 03567 interest if you are off 3409 profit on the current 428 with no compounding but you inadvertently typed months instead.
For your fixed income investments and riskier investment after only seven years of years of interest per month or 03567 interest if you will forfeit three months worth about 10252 after seven months before being redeemed even then savings bonds accumulate interest if you cant actually cash it then savings bonds have to be held for more aggressive and offer competitive interest rates but if you will forfeit.
The effect of simple interest compounded annually similarly 2996 would be held for more aggressive and offer competitive interest per month or 03567 interest rates but if you purchase an ibond would be seven months based on 100 ibond.
