    Most lending institutions use a monthly calculation for fixed loans. You borrow money and each month, interest is added onto your principal. Via my website, there is a link to bankrate – here you can use various calculators, for various loans.

    The rule of 72 is a doubling rule of thumb. Divide by the rate, and you will have the time it will take to double your money. For example: At a rate of 7.2%, you would double your money in 10years; At a rate of 10%, you would double your money in 7.2 years.

    Good luck
