Detailed explanation-1: -Examples: “12% interest” means that the interest rate is 12% per year, compounded annually. “12% interest compounded monthly” means that the interest rate is 12% per year (not 12% per month), compounded monthly. Thus, the interest rate is 1% (12% / 12) per month.
Detailed explanation-2: -A 10% interest rate will double your investment in about 7 years (72 ∕ 10 = 7.2); an amount invested at a 12% interest rate will double in about 6 years (72 ∕ 12 = 6). Using the Rule of 72, you can easily determine how long it will take to double your money.
