You are now 25 years old. You would like to retire when you are 65 years old. You want to receive starting at 65 an annual income of $150,000 per year until you are 95. How much money must you have in your retirement account when you are 65? Assume you can earn 4% per annum.
P = Annual income = $150,000
n = 95-65 = 30 years
r = annual interest rate = 4%
Present Value of Annual income at 65 = P * [1 - (1+r)^-n] / r
= $150,000 * [1 - (1+4%)^-30] / 4%
= $150,000 * 0.691681332 / 0.04
= $2,593,804.9951
Therefore, value of money must have in your account at 65 is $2,593,805
