THE RULE OF 72

How long could it take
to double?

Divide 72 by an assumed annual growth rate to estimate the number of years it could take money to double.

One number.
A useful starting point.

For example, 72 ÷ 6 = 12. At a hypothetical constant 6% annual rate, doubling would take about 12 years.

About 12 years to double at an assumed 6% annual rate.

72 ÷ 6 = 12
