  1. For the investment to reach $100,000 with monthly deposits of $850 at 6.5% compounded monthly, it will take 188 months or 15 years and 8 months.

    How is the period of investment calculated?

    To calculate the period of investment, we can use an online finance calculator as follows:

    Data and Calculations:

    I/Y (Interest per year) = 6.5%
    PV (Present Value) = $0
    PMT (Periodic Payment) = $850
    FV (Future Value) = $100,000
    P/Y (# of periods per year) = 12
    C/Y (# of times interest compound per year) = 12
    Results:
    N = 187.717 months
    Sum of all periodic payments = $159,559.45 (187.717 x $850)
    Total Interest = $59,559.45
    Thus, it will take 188 months for the investment to reach $100,000.
