Pay attention on how I edited your post to provide a unique sense.
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 monthly payment (deposit); r is the monthly percentage yield presented as a decimal;
n is the number of deposits (= the number of years multiplied by 12, in this case).
Under the given conditions, P = 500000; r = 0.02; n = 12*5 = 60. So, according to the formula (1), at the end of the 5-th year
FV = = = 57,025,769.71. ANSWER
