The Rule of 72: Instant Doubling-Time Math

Atom · refreshed Search related

Divide 72 by your annual return percentage and you get the years to roughly double your money. At 6% that's 12 years; at 9%, 8 years; at 12%, just 6. This single heuristic turns abstract rate-of-return comparisons into visceral timelines you can feel — and makes the difference between an okay and a great return brutally obvious.
