They are always quoted in an annual percentage.

The terms par value and face value mean the same thing.

It is the dollar amount the US government pays you at maturity.

Typically, Treasury Bills are issued in increments of $1,000 of face value.

This is the end date for the Treasury Bill when the government will repay your investment + the interest.

So if you invest $10,000 a 1-year T-Bill with a 4.9% interest rate, the government will pay you back your interest and investment at the end of the 1 year.

Interest is always calculated annually. Here is how it works:
‍
Example 1: Invest $20,000 in a 12-month Treasury Bill at 4.86% interest and earn $972 (that's 4.86% of $20,000 over 12 months)
‍
Example 2: Invest $20,000 in a 6-month Treasury Bill at 5.29% interest and earn $529. That's half of 5.29% of $20,000, since its for 6 months and adjusted for the shorter term
