The number of years taken to reach goal is calculated using NPER function in Excel ;
rate = 11.25%
pmt = -1800 (Yearly deposit. This is entered with a negative sign because it is a cash outflow)
pv = 0 (amount currently saved is zero)
fv = 10000 (Required ending value of account)
NPER is calculated to be 4.55
This is rounded off to 5.
It will take 5 years to reach your goal
First, we calculate the value of account after 4 deposits using FV function in Excel :
rate = 11.25%
nper = 4
pmt = -1800
FV is calculated to be $8,508.69
Value of account at end of 5 years (before final deposit) = $8,508.69 * (1 + 11.25%) = $9,465.92
Last deposit = required value of account - value of account at end of 5 years (before final deposit)
Last deposit = $10,000 - $9,465.92
Last deposit = $534.08
