I did the bond wizard on US treasuries less than a year, but when I got to the purchase screen it was saying all kids of different shite and I had no idea what any of it meant.

I did the same thing with a 1 yr t bill

Min Purchase 5
Principle 4928.60
Accrued Int. 69.53


Total Cost 4998.13

Is my cash account going to be debited 4928.60 or 4998.13
Which the 2nd value puts me paying the int. so I don't believe that is right by any means.

Not much help on you tube or Think or Swim.

It means you’re about to buy a $5000 face value treasury note for $4,809.22. You’ll receive $6.25 interest payments on 3/30/23 and 9/30/23, along with a $5000 principal payment on 9/30/23. The math on that works out to an annualized yield of 4.485%.

Treasury bills do not have coupon/interest payments. Treasury notes and bonds do.
