You can put this solution on YOUR website!
i used the calculator at https://arachnoid.com/finance/
present value = 0
future value = 600,000
number of time periods = 20 years * 12 = 240 months.
interest rate per time period = 5% per year / 12 = .416666666....% per month
payments are made at the end of each month.
calculator says that you need to invest 1459.73 at the end of each month.
the results are shown below.
