This rate is also used by agencies as a comparison point in evaluating the cost-effectiveness of a cash discount. In addition, this rate is used in determining when agencies should pay purchase card invoices when the card issuer offers a rebate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The rate reflects the Current Value of Funds to the Treasury for use in connection with Federal Cash Management systems and is based on investment rates set for purposes of Public Law 95-147, 91 Stat. 1227 (October 28, 1977). The annual Interest Rate Factors used in determining the Current Value of Funds Rate are based on weekly average Fed funds, less 25 basis points for the 12-month period ending every September 30. The Treasury Office of Debt Management began providing the annual Interest Rate Factors in the October 2021 monthly reporting cycle. The Current Value of Funds Rate is rounded to the nearest whole percentage for applicability effective each January 1. Quarterly revisions are made if the annual average, on a moving basis, changes by 2 percentage points.
