the following calculator will solve this for you.

here's a display of the results of using this calculator.

your inputs are everything except present value (pv)
you click on pv and the calculator tells you what the present value is.

since the interest rate is compounded monthly, the interest rate per month is 6% / 12 = .5 and the number of years is multiplied by 12 to get 120 months.

the payments are given at the end of each month.

the assumptions of this problem are that you are investing 90,073.45 at the beginning of the first month and you are withdrawing 1000 at the end of each month for the next 10 years.
