Future
value of an annuity (a saving schedule)
|
|
|
|
n |
At 6%
annual interest rate, saving $1 a year for 20 years
|
|
|
has
a future value of 36.785 (Table A.2, page 448). So the
|
|
|
future
value of saving $1,000 a year for 20 years is
|
|
|
36.785*1,000=$36,785.
|
|
|
|
n |
That
means if you save $1000 a year at 6% annual interest
|
|
rate,
it will grow into $36,785 in 20 years.
