Basic Info
6 Month Treasury Bill Rate is at 5.17%, compared to 5.16% the previous market day and 4.85% last year.
To calculate the price, take 180 days and multiply by 1.5 to get 270. Then, divide by 360 to get 0.75, and subtract 100 minus 0.75. The answer is 99.25. Because you're buying a $1,000 Treasury bill instead of one for $100, multiply 99.25 by 10 to get the final price of $992.50.
You can only buy T-bills in electronic form, either from a brokerage firm or directly from the government at TreasuryDirect.gov. (You can also buy Series I savings bonds through TreasuryDirect.gov.)

Whether you invest in Treasury bonds or bills depends on your time horizon and risk tolerance. If you'll need the money sooner, a Treasury bill with a shorter maturity might be best. If you have a longer time horizon, Treasury notes with maturities of up to 10 years might be better.

Differences between investing in CDs and T-bills
T-bills have a key advantage over CDs: They're exempt from state income taxes. The same is true with Treasury notes and Treasury bonds. If you live in a state with income taxes, and rates are similar for CDs and T-bills, then it makes sense to go with a T-bill.
Treasury Bills
13-week and 26-week bills are offered each week.
Treasury bills (or T-bills) are U.S. debt securities that mature over a time period of four weeks to one year. The most common terms for T-bills are for four, eight, 13, 17, 26 and 52 weeks.
