Assuming you meant that every 6 months you earn 7% then it will take 10 1/2 years to quadruple your amount (see below - I used 100.00 as a starting amount). If you meant you get 7% per year (3.5% every 6 months) then you will get a different amount of 20 1/2 years.

year 0.0 = 100.00

year 0.5 = 107.00 (100 x 1.07)

year 1.0 = 114.49

year 1.5 = 122.50

year 2.0 = 131.08

year 2.5 = 140.26

year 3.0 = 150.08

year 3.5 = 160.59

year 4.0 = 171.83

year 4.5 = 183.86

year 5.0 = 196.73

year 5.5 = 210.50

year 6.0 = 225.24

year 6.5 = 241.01

year 7.0 = 257.88

year 7.5 = 275.93

year 8.0 = 295.25

year 8.5 = 315.92

year 9.0 = 338.03

year 9.5 = 361.69

year 10.0 = 387.01

year 10.5 = 414.10
