No. of yrs required to double your money at a given rate, U just divide 72 by interest rate
Eg, if you want to know how long it will take to double your money at 8% interest, divide 72 by 8 and get 9 yrs

12 yrs
At 9% rate, take
8 yrs

3) 4% Rule for Financial Freedom

Corpus Reqd = 25 times estimated Annual Expenses.

Say Annual Expense > 50 years is 500,000 then corpus with you required is 1.25 cr.

50% into fixed income & 50% into equity.

Withdraw 4% every yr

This rule works for 96% of time in 30 yr period

4) 100 minus your age rule

This rule is used for asset allocation.

Subtract your age from 100 to find out, how much of your portfolio should be allocated to equities

Age is 30 so (100 - 30 = 70)

Equity : 70%
Debt : 30%

Age is 60 so (100 - 60 = 40)

Equity : 40%
Debt : 60%
