To find out how much you can withdraw each month from your retirement savings of \( \$400,000 \) over 25 years with a \( 10\% \) annual interest rate, we can use the formula for the monthly payment from an annuity. The formula is: \[ P = \frac{r \cdot PV}{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}} \] Where: - \( P \) is the monthly withdrawal amount, - \( PV \) is the present value or total amount saved (\$400,000), - \( r \) is the monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12), - \( n \) is the total number of withdrawals (months). First, convert the annual interest rate into a monthly rate: \( r = \frac{10\%}{12} = \frac{0.10}{12} \approx 0.00833 \). Next, calculate the total number of months: \( n = 25 \times 12 = 300 \). Now plug the values into the formula and calculate the monthly withdrawals: \[ P = \frac{0.00833 \cdot 400,000}{1 - (1 + 0.00833)^{-300}} \] This will result in an approximate monthly withdrawal of around \( P \approx \$3,550 \). So, you can withdraw about \( \$3,550 \) each month for 25 years from your retirement savings!
