Use Excel.

=NPER(0.10/12,-600,50000,0,0)

if you make your first payment at the end of the first month and each subsequent payment at the end of the next month.

=NPER(0.10/12,-600,50000,0,1)

if you make your first payment at the beginning of the first month and each subsequent payment at the beginning of the next month.

The second way is a little quicker, but both are nearly 12 years.
