--------
Sounds like an annuity. Here's the "Future Value of Ordinary Annuity" formula.
S = R [(1+i)^n-1]/i
S is the future value
R is the periodic payment
i is the periodic interest (in your case that is 0.06/12=0.005)
n is the number pf payments (in your case n= 10*12 = 120
---------
A=100[(1.005)^120 - 1]/0.005
A=100[0.819396734]/0.005
A=100*363.879378
A=$36,387.94
