us debt interest rate and annual return next year

 The average interest rate the U.S. government pays on its roughly $31.6 trillion in debt held by the public is projected to be around 3.4% to 3.5%. The 10-year Treasury yield is expected to hover near 4.1% to 4.4%. [1, 2, 3]

Annual returns for next year depend on what type of U.S. debt you are looking at:

• U.S. Treasury Securities: The annual return equals the bond's stated yield or coupon rate (e.g., locking in roughly 4.4% for a 10-year note or around 4.9% for a 30-year bond if purchased at issuance).
• National Economic Growth (GDP): Real GDP is projected to grow by approximately 1.8% to 2.2% next year. [1, 2, 3]

You can track daily debt totals and current issuance yields through the U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data platform. [1, 2]
