Credit Score

Your credit score is influenced by:

Investing

Income vs Accumulation

The rule of 72

72 divided by the expected percentage rate of return (e.g 6) returns the number of years it would take to double the investment (i.e. investing at 6% will take 12 years to double in value)...

72/6=12

£10000 @ 6% = £10600.00 after 1 year              £11236.00 after 2 years              £11910.16 after 3 years              £12624.77 after 4 years              £13382.26 after 5 years              £14185.20 after 6 years              £15036.30 after 7 years              £15938.48 after 8 years              £16894.79 after 9 years              £17908.48 after 10 years              £18982.99 after 11 years              £20121.97 after 12 years
