Estimate how long it takes for an investment to double

Welcome to the Serrari Rule of 72 Calculator

Ever wondered how long it takes for your money to double? Our Rule of 72 Calculator makes it easy to estimate how fast your investment can grow, without needing complex math.

The Rule of 72 is a quick formula that helps you find out either:

  1. How many years it will take for your money to double, or
  2. What annual interest rate you need to double your money in a set number of years.

How It Works

The formula is simple:
72 ÷ Interest Rate = Years to Double
or
72 ÷ Years = Required Interest Rate

This rule gives a close estimate of compound growth and is perfect for quick financial planning or comparing investment options.

If your money earns an annual interest rate of 8%, then:
72 ÷ 8 = 9 years
Your investment will roughly double in 9 years.

Or if you want to double your money in 6 years, then:
72 ÷ 6 = 12%
You’ll need an annual return of about 12%.
