For future value put 30000
for rate per period put .005 (if you use your calculator and divide 5.8% by 12 to find monthly rate you get a number around .005
For number of period put 72 since six years is the same of 12* 6 months = 72 months.
You then see the number $415.95

Does the interest compound monthly? I'm going to assume it does:
:
PMT*(((1+r/n)^nt-1)/(r/n)) = 30,000
PMT*(((1+0.058/12)^12*6)-1)/(0.058/12) = 30,000
PMT*85.87 = 30,000
PMT = 30,000/85.87 = 349.37 This is how much you have to save every month.
