  • You are planning to retire when you turn 65.
  • You currently have $25,000 in your retirement account.
  • Based on actuary tables, you expect to live to be 100 years old.
  • During each year of retirement you want to be able to withdraw $50,000 from your retirement account (at the beginning of the year).
  • The interest rate is 3%.
  • You plan to make deposits into your retirement account on your birthday, each year until you retire.

How much will you need to deposit into your retirement account at the beginning of each year (starting today) until you retire, so that you can withdraw $50,000 each year during retirement, and have an empty bank account at the end of your 100th year?
