Question

Education Planning: Suppose you have just had your first child and you want to begin saving for their college education. You estimate that with inflation, the cost of four years of college at a top university will cost a total of $225,000 in 18 years when your child graduates from high school. How much do you need to invest at the end of each month (part a) or year (part b) for the next 18 years to accumulate the $225,000 assuming:

Answer 1

To obtain $225,000 in 18 years it is necessary to save or invest at least  1,041.66 every month and 12,500 every year.

We know the total money that needs to be saved to cover college education is $225,000 and the time to save up this money is 18 years. Based on these two details, let's find out how much you need to save every month and every year.

Total of months:

• 12 months x 18 years = 216 months.

The total you need to save per month:

• $225,000 / 216 = 1,041.66.

The total you need to save per year:

• 1,041.66 x 12 = 12,499.99 that can be rounded as 12,500.
