The Power Of
Rule 72 & Compound Interest
The "Rule of 72" is a simple, quick
and easy way to calculate the length of time in which
money doubles at a certain interest rate. To
find the length of time in which money doubles at 6%,
divide 72 by 6 and you get 12 years. At 12% money
doubles in 6 years. The following
interest rate calculations (doubling) illustrates the
impact of doubling at these different rates.
Below is an example of how you apply the rule
of 72.
Compound
Interest Example
Take the example as reference, using $10,000 as the
initial investment principal. You will be able to see
the return based on different interest rates after
being compounded.
When you
consider that mathematical factor and then make the
necessary adjustments to the investable amount and the
rate of growth adjusted for taxes on the investment
you'll be well on your way to understanding the
investment process; and be far better able to select
the "correct" investment tax structure for
your assets. i.e retirement plans, tax deferred
investment accounts, charitable trusts and the like.
