You decide to save $1,000 at the end of each year for the next 20 years. If your savings earn an annual interest rate of 2%, how much will you have saved up by the end of 20 years? Round to the nearest cent.
Information provided:
Yearly saving= $1,000
Time= 20 years
Interest rate= 2%
The question is solved by calculating the future value.
Enter the below in a financial calculator to compute the future value:
PMT= 1,000
N= 20
I/Y= 2
Press the CPT key and FV to compute the future value.
The value obtained is 24,297.37.
Therefore, I will have saved $24,297.37 by the end of 20 years.
