I want to buy a car. I am saving $300 a month from my job and putting it in the bank. If the bank is offering 4% interest per year, compounded monthly, how much will I have saved at the end of 5 years?
Given.
Monthly savings = $300
Interest rate = 4% or 0.04
Number of years = 5 years
Solution :-
Monthly interest rate (r) = 0.04/12 = 0.00333333333
Number of months (n) = 5 years x 12 = 60
Now,
Future value
= Monthly savings/r x [(1 + r)n - 1]
= $300/0.00333333333 x [(1 + 0.00333333333)60 - 1]
= $90000 x [(1.00333333333)60 - 1]
= $90000 x [1.2209965936987 - 1]
= $90000 x 0.2209965936987
= $19889.69
You will have saved $19889.69 at the end of 5 years.
