Depends.
If you make the first deposit at the END of the first compounding period (Future Value of Annuity, FVA) then the formula is:
^n\,-\,1}{r}\])
Where  is the periodic payment,  is the interest rate per compounding period expressed as a decimal, and  is the number of compounding periods.
On the other hand, if your payment is made at the beginning of the first compounding period (Future Value of Annuity Due, FVAD), then the formula is:
\(P\[\frac{\(1\,+\,r\)^n\,-\,1}{r}\]\))
In your case,  ,  , and  . It is up to you to do the arithmetic after you decide which formula to use.
