I have a future value of 2307936 (after 5 years) and need to make an investment every month, with an annual increase of 10%. The rate of return on investment is 9% per annum.

If there is no annual increase of 10% I am getting 30882 as PMT. How do I calculate with 10% annual increase.

Using a mouse in Excel is the work equivalent of wearing a lanyard when you first get to college
2307936 is pretty specific. How did you arrive at that requirement?

I presume that you calculated 30882 as follows: =PMT((1+9%)^(1/12)-1, 5*12, 0, -2307936, 0).

That is good to know, because it tells us how you want to convert the annual rate (yield) to a monthly rate. The result is 30882.4752290111.

However, I believe you should use: =PMT((1+9%)^(1/12)-1, 5*12, 0, -2307936, 1). That results in 30661.4879718442.

Presumably, you want to earn a return on each payment. Therefore, payments should occur at the beginning of each period.

Off-hand, I'm not sure that we can use a formula to calculate the payment exactly.

We might be able to derive a formula that provides a good-enough estimate. But I don't have time to look at the math right now.

In the meantime, I think the easiest and possibly best approach is to use Goal Seek or Solver. Then the initial payment is 25526.5305148194.

The set-up:

a)Try building a table with your information and then use Goal Seek.
b)Try the UDF shown below

Dim n As Double, Tot As Double, st As Double

   Tot = InSave * (1 + PC / 12)
   If n Mod 12 = 0 Then st = st * Incpc
   InSave = Tot + st

As I suspected, we can indeed derive formulas to calculate the initial payment directly and exactly, not an estimate.

Granted, the formulas are complicated. So as I said before, my previous solution using Goal Seek or Solver might be easier.

For the direct calculation....

First some important assumptions, which I noted in my previous posting.

1. The monthly rate should be derived from the annual rate as follows: (1+9%)^(1/12)-1. This is based on msvariar's assertion that without the 10% annual increase, the monthly payment would be 30882 [sic]. That is derived from the formula =PMT((1+9%)^(1/12)-1, 5*12, 0, -2307936, 0), which results in 30882.4752290111.

2. IMHO, payments should be at the beginning of periods, not at the end, so that we earn a return on all payments. This is contrary to msvariar's implicit assumption that payments are at the end of periods. So the correct formula should be =PMT((1+9%)^(1/12)-1, 5*12, 0, -2307936, 1). That results in 30661.4879718442.

Based on those assumptions, the initial payment can be calculated as follows.

-----
For the curious, the mathematical derivation of the formula in B6 (initial annual payment) is as follows.

PMT*(1+10%)^0*(1+9%)^5 + PMT*(1+10%)^1*(1+9%)^4 +...+ PMT*(1+10%)^4*(1+9%)^1 = FV (2,307,936)

PMT = FV / ( (1+10%)^0*(1+9%)^5 + (1+10%)^1*(1+9%)^4 +...+ (1+10%)^4*(1+9%)^1 )

Note that (1+10%)^0 = 1. I include it in order to make the exponential series clearer.
