🧠 How the Power of 72 Helps You Think Like an Investor.

Ever wondered how long it might take your savings to double?

There’s a surprisingly simple way to estimate it—no calculator required. It’s known as the Rule of 72, a classic shortcut used by seasoned professionals across capital markets.

Just follow this:

🧠 The Rule of 72

Divide 72 by your annual growth figure to calculate the number of years needed for your capital to double.

Example:

If your expected yearly increase is 6 percent:

72 divided by 6 = 12 years to see it double.

This guideline is most useful when your yearly increase falls between 6 and 10 percent. While it doesn't account for inflation or taxes, it remains an excellent mental model for quick planning and comparative thinking.

Whether you're planning long-term goals or simplifying explanations for others, this rule helps bring clarity to growth conversations.
