How Compounding Frequency Works
How does compounding frequency impact returns?
The more frequently interest is compounded (e.g., daily vs annually), the faster interest accumulates upon previously credited interest, yielding a higher effective annual rate.
What is the Rule of 72?
The Rule of 72 is a quick shortcut: divide 72 by your annual return rate to estimate approximately how many years it will take for your money to double (e.g., 72 / 7.2% ≈ 10 years).
