Hi,
In General A+=+P%5Bn%5D%28%281%2Br%2Fn%29%5E%28nt%29-1%29%2F%28r%2Fn%29
A = Accumulated Amount = 250,000
P[n]= Savings Amount per period
r= annual rate = .08
n= periods per year = 12
t= years = 10
250000+=+P%5B12%5D%28%281%2B.08%2F12%29%5E%2812%2A10%29-1%29%2F%28.08%2F12%29%29
250000%28.08%2F12%29+=+P%5B12%5D%28%281%2B.08%2F2%29%5E%2812%2A10%29-1%29
p%5B12%5D, the monthly savings amount necessary = $1366.52
