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 your annual payment (deposit); r is the annual percentage rate presented as a decimal;
n is the number of deposits (= the number of years, in this case).
Under the given conditions, P = 3400; r = 0.07; n = 12. So, according to the formula (1), you get at the end of the 12-th year
FV =  = $60,820.73. ANSWER
