Question 269030: I have $1500 in a savings account drawing 6% interest and would like to make a payment once year for three years to have an ending balance of $10,000 at the end of the three years. I need for these payments to be the same amount to make it easier for me to remember. Can you please help me by giving the formula for this?

I used the financial feature on my TI83 with your figures and came up with
$2579.93, just make it $2580 deposited every year (compounded once a year)
If compounded quarterly you only need 2574
