    It depends on what interest rates do. You are paid interest semi-annually on your bond.

    Rates

    Series EE Savings Bonds issued May 1, 1995 through April 30, 1997 earn interest based on market yields for U.S. Treasury securities. Each May 1 and November 1 these bonds earned two savings bond rates: a short-term rate and a long-term rate. The details are outlined below. See Market-Based Savings Bond Rates for the actual rates.

    Short-Term Rate

    Series EE bonds earn the short-term rates for the first five years.

    The short-term rates were 85% of the 3-month averages of 6-month U.S. Treasury Security yields.

    Long-Term Rate

    Applied to EE bonds from five years through 17 years.

    EE Bonds will continue to earn interest from 17 years through 30 years at the rates in effect at that time.

    Each long-term rate is 85% of the 6-month average of five-year U.S. Treasury security yields.

    A new rate is determined and becomes effective each May 1 and November 1. The May 1 rate reflects market yields during the preceding November through April and the November 1 rate reflects market yields during the preceding May through October.

    There is a site you can go to and enter the information and they will tell you what it is worth now. I'm sorry I don't know where but just search for "EE savings bond value."
