The formula for continuous compounding is:

It kinda looks like "expert" when you write it out...
.
"x" is the amount of money you'll have at the end (think X marks the spot)
"P" is the original principal (P=$6,000)
"e" is a constant, that you'll use on your calculator (likely looks like this: )
"r" is the rate of interest earned each year (r=2%=.02)
"t" is the time in years (t=5)
.
Simply take the formula, plug in your numbers, and use a calculator to solve.

Therefore, after 5 years of continual compounding, you will have $6,631.03 in your account.
