It is a classic Ordinary Annuity saving plan. The general formula is 


    FV = ,    (1)


where  FV is the future value of the account;  P is the annual payment (deposit); r is the annual percentage rate presented as a decimal; 
n is the number of deposits (= the number of years, in this case).


Under the given conditions, P = 12000;  r = 0.09;  n = 12.  So, according to the formula (1), you get at the end of the 12-th year


    FV =  = $241,688.64.


Note that you deposit only  12*$12000 = $144,000.  The rest is what the account earns/accumulates in 12 years.
