The Rule of 72 is a quick and easy formula used to estimate the time it takes for an investment to double in value. By dividing 72 by the rate of return or interest rate, you can get an approximate idea of the number of years it will take for your investment to double. For example, if you have an investment with an annual return of 6%, it would take approximately 12 years (72 divided by 6) for your investment to double in value. While it provides a rough estimate, the Rule of 72 can be a useful tool for understanding the impact of compounding returns over time.
