You know that paying yourself by depositing money in a savings account is a prudent start to your retirement plan. You determined that, based on your other obligations, you can save 6,375.00 per year via an annual, single year-end deposit.

Its savings accounts are paying 6% interest.
The following table shows the future value factors for various periods and interest rates:
