The rule of 72 is a financial calculation used to see how long it will take you to double your money based on what percentage of interest you are receiving. To find out how long it will take you to double your money, divide your interest percentage by 72.
Think about a quick shortcut for how long money takes to double. Divide 72 by your interest rate to get the rough number of years.
