What you can do

  • Rule of 72

    Divide 72 by the interest rate to get the approximate doubling time. At 5%, your capital doubles in approx. 14.4 years.

  • At 6% interest+€1,620

    Final capital then €17,908.

How this was calculated
Kₙ = K₀ × (1 + r)ⁿ
K₀ = initial capital, r = interest rate, n = years

Solving for the final capital. With interest paid more than once a year, the annual rate is split across the periods; regular savings also earn interest.
