Rule
of 72
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Rule of 72 is an easy way to estimate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
how long it will take your investment to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
double in value. Just divide 72 by the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rate of return to see how many years it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
will take to double.

Disclaimer

|
This calculator is for illustrative purposes only.
Depending on changes in the rate of return
|
|
over time, what you’re invested in, how you invest
it, how interest is applied, and possible
|
|
tax implications, the actual amount of time needed
to double your money will vary. You
|
|
should not rely on the results as indication of your
financial needs and we recommend
|
|
that you seek out your own investment, legal, tax or
professional advice.
