Derek decides that he needs $132,685.00 per year in retirement to cover his living expenses. Therefore, he wants to withdraw $132685.0 on each birthday from his 66th to his 88.00th. How much will he need in his retirement account on his 65th birthday? Assume a interest rate of 7.00%
The amount is computed as follows:
Present value = Annual amount x [ (1 – 1 / (1 + r)n) / r ]
= $ 132,685 x [ (1 - 1 / (1 + 0.07)23 ) / 0.07 ]
= $ 132,685 x 11.27218738
= $ 1,495,650.18 Approximately
