Rule of 72 The rule of 72 says if you take the interest rate you are receiving and divide it into 72, it will give you the number of years it will take for your investment to double. Example, 72 divided by 4 (interest rate at a bank) = 18 years for your money to double. Another example, 72 ÷ 2 = 36 years.
