Formula and methodology
Formula: years ≈ 72 / rate; exact = ln(2) / ln(1+r).
72 divided by the rate approximates doubling time and is most accurate near 8%. The exact value is shown alongside so the approximation error is visible.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
