Example 6: Calculating Monthly Payments Amber wishes to deposit a fixed monthly amount into an annuity account for her child’s college fund. She wishes to accumulate a future value of $150,000 in 18 years. a.Assuming an APR of 4%, how much money should Amber deposit monthly in order to reach her goal? b.How much of the $150,000 will Amber ultimately deposit in the account, and how much is interest earned?

HAWKES LEARNING Students Count. Success Matters. Copyright © 2015 by Hawkes Learning/Quant Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Example 6: Calculating Monthly Payments (cont.) Solution a.Amber’s goal is to have accumulated a balance of $150,000 after 18 years. She has an interest rate of 4% and is going to make monthly payments. Therefore, we know that P = 150,000, r = 0.04, n = 12, and t = 18. Now, substituting these into the formula, we can calculate the monthly payment needed.

HAWKES LEARNING Students Count. Success Matters. Copyright © 2015 by Hawkes Learning/Quant Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Example 6: Calculating Monthly Payments (cont.) So, Amber will need to deposit at least $ per month in order to meet her goal of $150,000.

HAWKES LEARNING Students Count. Success Matters. Copyright © 2015 by Hawkes Learning/Quant Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Example 6: Calculating Monthly Payments (cont.) b.Amber will need to make 18 years worth of monthly payments of $ We can find her contribution to the savings plan by multiplying these together. 18 ⋅ 12 ⋅ $ = $102, The interest earned is then the difference between the goal and the contributed amount from Amber. So, we can subtract and have the following. $150,000 – $102, = $47, So, the savings plan earned $47, in interest over the 18 years.

Example 7: Calculating Monthly Payments for a Retirement Fund Assume you have just graduated from college and have obtained your first job making $44,250 per year. Currently, the national average retirement income for people with a bachelor’s degree is $60,000 per year. Assuming you are 22 years of age at graduation and you will retire at age 67, then you will be working—and investing—for 45 years. At current rates, a mutual fund has an APR of 8%. How much do you need to invest each month in order to live off of $60,000 per year when you retire?

HAWKES LEARNING Students Count. Success Matters. Copyright © 2015 by Hawkes Learning/Quant Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Example 7: Calculating Monthly Payments for a Retirement Fund (cont.) Solution You want to build an account large enough so that you can have an annual annuity payment of $60,000 without reducing the principal on your retirement fund. In other words, you will live on the interest the account earns. We can phrase this another way by asking, “What balance is needed so that it earns $60,000 in annual interest?” Since we are assuming there is an APR of 8%, the $60,000 must be equal to 8% of the total balance.

HAWKES LEARNING Students Count. Success Matters. Copyright © 2015 by Hawkes Learning/Quant Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Example 7: Calculating Monthly Payments for a Retirement Fund (cont.) We can write this as a mathematical equation, letting x equal the principal needed, and then solve for x as shown below.

HAWKES LEARNING Students Count. Success Matters. Copyright © 2015 by Hawkes Learning/Quant Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Example 7: Calculating Monthly Payments for a Retirement Fund (cont.) With an 8% APR, a balance of $750,000 allows you to withdraw $60,000 per year without reducing the principal. Now that we know the total amount needed to generate our $60,000 per year income, we can use the monthly annuity formula to compute the monthly payment amount needed to meet this future value goal.

HAWKES LEARNING Students Count. Success Matters. Copyright © 2015 by Hawkes Learning/Quant Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Example 7: Calculating Monthly Payments for a Retirement Fund (cont.) We have that FV = $750,000 from our calculation, r = 0.08, t = 45 years, and n = 12.

HAWKES LEARNING Students Count. Success Matters. Copyright © 2015 by Hawkes Learning/Quant Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Example 7: Calculating Monthly Payments for a Retirement Fund (cont.) So, if you wish to retire and make $60,000 per year without affecting the principal in your retirement fund, you need to start at age 22 depositing approximately $143 per month. With a fixed APR of 8% over the years of your retirement, you will never outlive your retirement savings.
