For eg lets say we need 100$ after 5 years. Assuming interest rate to be 10% amount required every year to reach 100$ if we start today is
FV(annuity) = A[(1+r)^n-1/r]
100 = A[(1.1)^5-1/0.1]
100=A[1.61051-1/0.1]
100 =A (6.1051)
A =16.38$
Means we have to put 16.38$ every year for 5 year
Now assume we start our savings after 3 years , the we will need
FV(annuity) = A[(1+r)^2-1/r]
100 = A[(1.1)^2-1/0.1]
100=A[1.21-1/0.1]
100 =A (2.1)
A =47.62$
