Our purpose
TreasuryRateHub publishes educational information about U.S. Treasury interest rates and securities. Everything we publish should be accurate, clearly sourced, easy to understand and useful to the reader.
Sources
- Rate data comes only from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s official daily par yield curve rates. See our data sources and methodology.
- Explanations of how Treasury securities work rely on primary sources such as the U.S. Department of the Treasury, TreasuryDirect, the Federal Reserve and the IRS. We link to them where readers can verify the information.
- We do not present opinions as facts, and we do not invent statistics, examples presented as real data, quotes or expert credentials.
Writing standards
- Plain English. We define financial terms when we use them.
- No predictions or recommendations. We describe what rates are and how they work. We do not forecast where rates will go or recommend specific investments.
- Examples are labeled. Illustrative numbers in guides and calculators are marked as examples and are not presented as current market data.
- Balanced context. When a topic is commonly misunderstood, such as what an inverted yield curve means, we explain the limits as well as the facts.
Review and updates
Content is reviewed before publication for accuracy against its sources, and calculators are tested against hand-worked examples. Pages show when they were last updated. We revisit guides when rules change, such as Treasury program changes, and when readers point out problems.
Use of automation
Rate data, charts and the automatically generated key takeaways are produced by software directly from the Treasury’s data. Software tools may assist with drafting and checking text, but a person is responsible for reviewing what we publish against primary sources.
Advertising and independence
If the site shows advertising, ads will be clearly labeled, kept apart from data and calculator inputs, and will have no influence on our content. We do not accept payment to change rates, rankings or explanations. TreasuryRateHub is not affiliated with any government agency.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix it promptly and transparently. See our corrections policy or contact us.
