interest rate: 2%
frequency: quarterly
time: 28 years
Payout annuities are typically used after retirement. With a payout annuity, you start with money in the account, and pull money out of the account on a regular basis. So basically we need to find out the starting amount that we need to keep in our account.
The formula for payout annuity is :
P0 = 1900 * (1- ( 1 + (0.02/4))-28 * 4 ) / (0.02/4)
P0 = 1900 * (1- (1.005)-28 * 4 ) / (0.005)
P0 = 1900 * (1- (1.005)-28 * 4 ) / (0.005)
P0 = 1900 * (1- 0.572) / (0.005)
P0 = 1900 * 0.428 / (0.005)
P0 = 813.2 / (0.005)
P0 = $162,640
The account needs to hold $162,640 initially to make it possible.
