Given that Future Value, = $1,000,000, Number of years, = 50 and rate of return, = 6%
Since it is compounded monthly, the number of years = 50*12 = 600 and rate of return = 6%/12 = 0.5%
The amount saved is annuity represented by ,
$1,000,000 =
$1,000,000 =
$1,000,000 =
$1,000,000 = (3787.19109)
= $264.05
Hence, you must save $264.05 each month to be a millionaire in 50 years.
